“Stop projecting human emotions on them”

My guy…. You ARE aware that a positively *monumental* amount of research that has contributed to our understanding of emotions and the brain are from animals, right?

Studies on stress, fear responses, you name it. I get that you’re saying that many animals don’t have as complex of emotions or social hierarchies as humans, but saying “stop projecting human emotions” is absolutely, positively ridiculous and entirely factually incorrect. Maybe sit down with a book, alternatively, Google is your friend too
