[QUOTE="JD8, post: 2881230, member: 24"] There's so much ignorance in terms of zoology here I don't where to start. Applying human anecdotes concerning daily activities relays little about vertebrate awareness. Animals flourish outside of zoos, in several aspects of behavior, so believing it doesn't know any different just won't apply to certain species. In captive environments, several species, even those probably deemed as "stupid" won't breed due to stress. So they are aware enough to a degree in terms of their environment to not reproduce. No not every vertebrate or even invertebrate has our level of cognitive abilities, but at the very least many are more, if not just as aware, of their surroundings and have the ability to figure the "difference."
