Re: If you were given a choice...

I would also choose animals because I want to know how they feel about things.

They may be happy on a zoo with somewhere safe to live & a good supply of food but, if not, we could then explain why we thought is was good for them.
My stray cat Mr Grey knows how to get out through the cat flap but not how to get in, so I have to leave it propped open so he can get shelter at night, when it is so cold. I could teach him if he understood what I was saying

I can understand a little German & French, but have had cats for more than 40 years yet how can I understand what they want when they meow, or if they are suffering?
I could also ask dogs if it is Ok to stroke them, instead of asking their owner!

English is made up of all sorts including a significant amount of Latin. It's ever evolving with up to 1000 new words added per year. It's the language of science and the arts. It's world number one.

Dogs respond well to English, German too. Some dogs know over 100 words but even the dumbest dog should know the 16 basic commands.

Re: If you were given a choice...

I believe my own dogs, not Rosie now, as she has passed.

It’s all to do with my tone of voice.....that they listen/ listened to.....they know different tones.

Re: If you were given a choice...

I'd choose to speak with animals. Why? because I much prefer their company to humans.

My dogs have certainly taught me a lot, Rox, Jack has his side of the bed,....I know it’s supposed to be unhealthy, sleeping with a dog,...I would also think that about some humans, not that I’ve slept with any..

He’s on my bed all day,unless we go walking......at night he seems to prefer to be in his crate, I wonder why?

Best I start a thread about dog behaviour.

Re: If you were given a choice...

I would rather be able to speak to animals...

...but I suspect we would lose them forever if they knew much of what we had to say.

I think there would be lots of arguements, but it would be fun to find out what they think & feel.
