Question

What evidence would you accept that an animal is thinking? Please explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Animal is a living being with mental experiences, conciouscness. They play, they take care of their young ones and one another, they fear, show love and hatred towards things. And these all elements cannot arise without the process of thinking.

The fights between animals we see on television or other devices, the tricks and measures animals follow to defeat his enemy and defend themselves is not possible without thinking.

Dog waving tail and following in pursuit of food, birds taking taking of their offsprings, the dramatic move in snake and mongoose fights are some of the evidences that prove that animals also think.
