If you're interested in learning a bit about animal intelligence, language, culture and morality, as well as some historical reflections on how animals were seen compared to modern scientific views, then you might be interested in newest Flayrah article. It's an adaptation of my talks at FURSAverance and Gdakon and is full of videos of animals doing cool stuff and links to interesting science.
It's also a personal milestone as it's my 100th article on Flayrah over the past 15 years!

(I know I normally put the full text here, and I still might, but there's a lot and a lot of images/videos so it'd be a bunch of formatting. Also there are a lot of links.)

Dispelling a misconception: Non-human animals as intelligent, cultured and moral beings
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
