For instance, “There are also many similarities in pain behaviours across the species, for example they may stop socialising with people and/or other animals, they may eat less, they may vocalise more and their heart rate may rise”. This shows that animals are very similar to humans with there feelings, if humans get scared the heart rate rises similarly to animals. Most animals also have the five senses that humans have as well as echo location. According to Fact Monster, “Some dolphins, whales, and bats navigate and track prey using echolocation. This is a very advanced form of hearing that allows them to “see” their surroundings by listening to and analyzing the way sound reflects off objects in their environment.” Animals and humans are closely related and both use senses to navigate, listen, and smell. Animals should not be perceived as “things” because animals behave very similarly to
