We don't recognize "Animals" in the same context in what is normally meant. While one has love and hate as mental directions toward others/things, one also has human and animal traits also as directions in ones being. Each of these directions are the basis of one's relationship with others. All have both human and animal mentalities. It is by the human traits that we accept and get along with each other. Opposite that (Animal) is why we cannot get along peacefully. They both are the components of "personality". In our everyday use of common language we use the term "dog" to mean what everyone else uses it as. But, to us,"dog" expresses a type of body. Our observations show that they have the very same spiritual makeup as we. The use of Human and animal traits determines what manner of social structure we are under. A garden slug needs little or no social structure because it doesn't need it. What is referred to as "dog" is dependent upon a greater social structure and there-fore have a higher need for human and animal traits, the very same as we. That's why there is no such thing as a human body. If the "dog" has the very same personality traits and directions as we then the dog would also have a human body
In other words, Yes. OK, now, how about a Bumblebee Bat or Etruscan Shrew?
(Ants, wasps and bees have a social structure.)
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
