Just to add to the list of articles, there are many others that concern granting animals' human rights and one of the most popular debates is regarding dolphins.<br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-17116882<br /><br />Thank you for such a thought-provoking post, Brooke. While reading this, I can't help but think back to the seal videos we watched today. One of the main reasons such videos are so appealing is because of the "cuteness" factor. The videos showed baby seals, which, I feel, activates some sort of "parental" instinct in the viewer - the Bambi syndrome. In the Great Apes BBC article, I see hints of the Bambi syndrome. The first argument is that apes are 99% related to us, therefore they should share the same rights that we have. I hate to be the cynic, but it seems to me that that 1% makes a whole lot of difference. Based on my background knowledge of animal behavior, apes and humans do share many characteristics and behaviors, but we also have so many differences. For instance - and perhaps one of the most notable differences - human relationships are so much more complex than that the great apes. Some apes only have male-male bonds, or female-female bonds. The bonobos, which if I recall correctly have the most complex web of connections in the apes, still cannot match the humans'. I am especially interested in this detail because I commonly link emotions to relationships - emotions such as love, hate, compassion, emotions that are so deeply attributed to humans. To me, there is a direct correlation between human-human relationship and emotions. If the great apes do not have as intricate relationships as we do, then do they have emotions as complicated as ours? Do they have emotions at all? <br /><br />I am also skeptical about the idea of giving the apes (or dolphins) human rights because of their intelligence level or ability to identify's one self or perform logical thinking. Intelligence is dependent on the development of the brain, and, from my studies I have learned that the development of the brain differs from species to species, or even animal to animal, depending on the environment (although there are genetic restrictions). Take for example ravens. Ravens have been proven to be capable of using logic to solve problems, of distinguishing individuals (other ravens AND humans) and attributing knowledge to them (they know that humans/ravens are also smart). Ravens are far from humans in the evolution tree, yet they possess qualities that are very human-like. Should we grant ravens human rights, as they can think <i>like us</i>?<br /><br />I actually just realized something:<br />It seems so wrong of me to isolate each trait and attack it. The great apes and the dolphins are not like humans because of individual traits, but because of the combination of all these qualities. I really am not sure what to think anymore. I started writing this comment being an <i> opponent </i> of the suggested human rights idea, but now, I'm not really sure. I'm stuck in the middle.<br /><br />Someone care to add on? Perhaps start a heated, inspiring debate?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210801374268491851.post-32478761645402588822012-07-11T20:39:04.381-04:002012-07-11T20:39:04.381-04:00The first thing that caught my eye was that the si...The first thing that caught my eye was that the sign seemed as if it was stabbing the baby seal, which led me to see the lone tear like on the crying Indian.

This article demonstrates how it is entirely possible for bonobos to possess human qualities. It further supports those in favor of granting rights to these primates, as it ultimately reveals that these creatures possess the capabilities of higher mark of culture (fire), than ever previously believed. <br /><br />http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2080050/Now-thats-chim-PAN-zee-Meet-monkey-fry-burgers.htmlSarah Poisnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11381815970335033231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210801374268491851.post-1686413994133149882012-07-11T19:42:59.252-04:002012-07-11T19:42:59.252-04:00great photos!great photos!Jim Tantillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520467623399679472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210801374268491851.post-73980068107938283662012-07-11T00:22:51.734-04:002012-07-11T00:22:51.734-04:00Looking through the pictures, I think of how the a...Looking through the pictures, I think of how the animals portrayed here are ones that many people are more inclined to 'save' from extinction. Most of these animals either inspire a type of awe in us (like the polar bear and sea turtle) or is a symbol of 'nature' throughout history (deer). It influences many of us what type of animals we should save and also what type of animal we deem should be saved. If the animal is not as 'cute' or 'cuddly', it doesn't have a chance of being used as a message to save earth. For example, look up the aye-aye.<br /><br /> Also, I think it is really interesting how the deer in the last picture is made of trash. It reminds me of robots or some kind of technology because we often have movies or steampunk art depicting animals as some kind of hybrid of animal and technology and it's interesting how this type of art developed and to see how this type of art reflects what people value today in 'nature'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210801374268491851.post-27364382452551008352012-07-04T20:06:47.813-04:002012-07-04T20:06:47.813-04:00good overview!good overview!Jim Tantillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520467623399679472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210801374268491851.post-87856789547874068612012-06-30T09:55:55.470-04:002012-06-30T09:55:55.470-04:00Sorry, not a link, but the URL.Sorry, not a link, but the URL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210801374268491851.post-58543807471207003992012-06-27T20:53:47.285-04:002012-06-27T20:53:47.285-04:00joke. lame attempt at humor.joke. lame attempt at humor.Jim Tantillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520467623399679472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210801374268491851.post-26427922142421861282012-06-27T20:52:23.375-04:002012-06-27T20:52:23.375-04:00Thank you very much for pointing to our site regar...Thank you very much for pointing to our site regarding Muybridge's history. <br /><br />One comment - I do not agree with the warning about nudity for faint hearted - I'm sure that you would not say the same to visitors to Michelangelo's David or give a religious warning for visitors to the Sistene Chapel?Kinetic Impulsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08246696443672960700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210801374268491851.post-21381037015902310362012-06-27T14:54:09.310-04:002012-06-27T14:54:09.310-04:00love it, very cool video.love it, very cool video.Jim Tantillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520467623399679472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210801374268491851.post-38646468000260059092012-05-14T05:04:46.826-04:002012-05-14T05:04:46.826-04:00Hey Jared, that' fantastic, and thanks for fin...Hey Jared, that' fantastic, and thanks for finding that video--I'll keep that in mind for the future. <br />JimJim Tantillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520467623399679472noreply@blogger.com
