I get accused of anthropomorphism all the time. I get told that I put human attributes on animal’s feeling and emotions.
Strangely enough, the people who accuse me of this, never spend any time with animals or they profit from the farming of animals. I have spent enough time with animals of many species to know that they form incredible friendships and bonds. They grieve terribly when they lose a friend and they communicate with each other.
Trying to put animals feelings and emotions in a box seperate to our own really makes it easier for humans to use and abuse them.
