you really need to understand what an emotion is ............. animals most certainly have emotions , the higher the intelligence , the more complex the emotions .....to think they don't is to not understand what an emotion is .......... how is it you know what a tortoise knows ?
Emotions are a cultural construct invented for humans by humans to explain things we dont understand and need find a better way to explain.
It is of your opinion animals have emotions and it is of mine they do not.
If you don't feed a tortoise he becomes hungry. Not sad. Being sad is useless and and won't get you fed. A hungry animal will search out food not mope around on the internet. It never had time to be "sad" because it's just too pre occupied with trying to live.
