BTW, I'm an animal lover, but animals were DOMESTICATED. No animal was ever born domesticated, until we intervened. So the intelligence or lack thereof in animals was taught to them by US.

If we'd never domesticated any animals, they'd stayed as originally intended and that was to serve us at whatever level they could.
all animals are domesticated, just as humans are... why do you think animal hunt in packs and live in heards, is that not domesticated behavior? i believe it is. Just as you or I... your parents domesticated you, w/o them you would be wild just like an animal. I you put a child in a room to grow up in w/o any contact what do you think the child will be??? he will be an animal, he will know nothing more than animal instinct, b/c that is what he can learn.

i think you people need to rethink what you have learned b/c animals serve a far greater purpose than you can image. its amazing that, heard of animals can live off the jungle/forest alone, but you or I wouldn't last 24hrs w/ all of the knowledge we have.
