The animal in you!

They are more than just 'The House of the Rising Sun'
Imagine you are just another one of God's creations. Just another one life form amongst many. Nothing special about you. Not the chosen one. Not created in His mold!
You have been having the grandiosity that the world revolves around you. That you are superior over other creations and that you are complete with senses to think, sympathise and empathise. Err... You got it wrong again. The zest, the spontaneity, the emotional display and meaningful response are also displayed by them (the others), albeit in their own vocalisation.
On the other end, animal do not exhibit human qualities like killing each other for no particular reason, other than for food, territory or mates.
Just like the concept of alpha-male in the animal kingdom, we also have set preset hierarchy to place some people in a place more superior than another.
In the video below, the non lactating cows which were actually worthless from an economic viewpoint, were initially caged for months waiting to be culled. After the animals rights group fought for their rights, they were released in the fields. See the joy of these supposedly lowly unthinking beast basking their new found freedom. They are jumping in joy in the air, rubbing their faces and bodies on the ground, caressing each other and running in sheer glee. See the joy, see the emotion. Who says animals are devoid of emotional expressions?
