It is beyond questioning to me that animals can talk, not only to their own species, but also among species. When there is danger some bird notices it and gives the alarm and all of a sudden the whole forest is quiet. When one of my animals caught something, the other 2 almost immediately know it. A dog and 2 cats, but they can communicate, I am sure. Specially if it is about food.

I agree 100%. I also strongly agree that they sense evil.

Absolutely! A friend's neighbors had a very friendly dog. A new person moved into the house next door. Every one loved him but the dog. It turned out later that he was a spy.

Actual translation; "Hey, human, why the fake fur on head, human? Why the fake fur on head!"

And the following day who knows what other lies and augmentations would disappear?

A computer asks a male elephant why he likes female elephants. He says "they are so phat and gray and big and have long eyelashes... I want them to stomp on me."

Another computer tells a female what the male elephant said. She smiles mysteriously and comments "I'm actually on a diet to get even more phat, say thanks to that male elephant for noticing."

A bunch of horrified humans go out on a demonstration against TMaI (or Too Much automatic Information), and say "we were happier before we learned the language of animals. Give us back our happiness!"

…as if thousands of hamsters suddenly screeched in unison:

— I AM NOT IN FACT VEGAN!

Were humans to employ real intelligence, communication skills amongst themselves would improve greatly. No time like the present!

Excellent point. The inventor that puts an end to these Chinese whispers might even get a Nobel Peace Prize!
