NO HABLA INGLES!!!!

It has come to my attention that there is so much philosophy that goes into telling the difference between humans and animals. My differences in the past always had to do with things like size ranges, eyesight, speed, hearing, and lifespan. Some people, like myself, actually care about animals and their well being, where some see animals as merely a source of game (hunting term). Animals have a lot of things in common with humans as far as basic needs and wants. We share the expression of our independence, dominance, strength, understanding, and our emotions. When animals are abandoned, beaten, or mistreated, they tend to become cold hearted and mean. That is a characteristic that even humans have because of the challenges that you have endured in your life. Our similarities are what makes having pets so interesting.  
The main difference between animals and humans is not communication necessarily, but that we do not share a common, clear language. When you command an animal to do a task, they obviously comprehend because they respond with action. As well as understanding, they show emotion and requests to us as well. The only difference is they request with gestures, noises, or they can only reply if you ask the right question. Although they can understand English, they still can not speak it because they do not think of the purpose for their actions. They simply do what humans command because they look at us as superior. By humans not being able to understand what animals are saying, makes us having authority so much easier.
