The parrot with the moving last words.
Alex the African gray parrot was able to count and identify colors, and he had a beautiful relationship with this person, Irene Pepperberg. When Alex died in 2007, his last words to her were "You be good. I love you."

I have known for a long time that there's no real difference between humans and animals. Only our IQ makes us top predators. Even though I like animals very much, I'm not vegetarian since our digestive system is omnivorous and it would harm me if I didn't eat animal meat. Respect your food.

Similar situation here. I can go without meat but I'm not vegetarian. My mother is and it's nice that she doesn't impose her views on us. My view is "protect animals as long as they're alive and fight cruel slaughtering [like cooking pigs in boiling water alive] but if they're already dead meat there's not much you can do, only respect that they died so you can survive. My family never kills fish for Christmas, since we consider it a holiday of mercy. I have a respect for life and even catch insects and let them out alive outside of my home.

wait wait.. just IQ ? moral quotient, emotional quotient, adversity quotient, social quotient, creativity quotient.
and we are on the top of them all.
and say what ? it would harm you to not eat meat ? panda...
i am for respect of animals.. but don't see them as humans! see humans as animals. (and yes that's completely different)
and above all else.. get your facts straight.

Actually, most people in first-world countries where a large variety of foods are available can live just fine without meat. It just takes a little research and possibly vitamin supplements (which can also be vegetarian.)
I've been a vegetarian for 13 years and am in excellent health.

"For remaining loyally at the side of their blind owners, courageously leading them "
They didn't have much of a choice now, did they?!

Dogs are scared of fireworks. They could as well hide under the desks, scared of the noise and fire.

Uh, so they made a decisive decision to walk their owners to safety...righto!
A dog would take the 1st opportunity to get out of there... the fact their owners survived, is because they were ATTACHED to the fucking dogs!

Those are both pretty big dogs. They could have yanked their leashes out of their people's hands and made a run for it.

Wrong, Indiana Jones. Humanity, as a whole, lacks morals. We murder, rape, torture, steal, prevaricate, and cheat. There is no level of depravity that we won't sink to. Our arrogance and greed knows no bounds. The planet is rapidly reaching the point of no return because of our unchecked breeding and stupidity. People won't ever change.
Other species face far more adversities than humans do. For the most part, we create our own. Other animals suffer horribly because of us.
We aren't the most superior, we are just the biggest parasites on Earth.
This is absolutely one of the best posts ever. Thanks for sharing.
