"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

A number of controlled procedures were carried out which involved ruffling the feathers of chicks and mother hens with an air puff. When chicks were exposed to puffs of air, they showed signs of distress that were mirrored by their mothers.

A white tailed dear flips it's tail and the herd reacts.  A wolf raises it's hackles and the rest of the pack reacts.  Does that mean they both have empathy?

OTOH, wolves and dogs have shown other signs of empathy.

I gotta admit - when you can grab a chicken, lop off its head, gut it, shove a can of beer up its ass, dry rub it, plop it on the grill for eight hours and produce a great tasting protein meal, that is worth relishing...

My wife isn't feeling good today and is back sleeping in the bedroom. Our cat is camped out on the bottom of the bed watching over her. He did the same for me last week when I was sick.
I've known dogs to do the same. Empathy or waiting for a meal?  :-)

A cat cant resist those sweet, sweet eyeball juices.. They just wait until you aren't using them anymore, though they might grab a toe or two as an appetizer ahead of time...  :-)

Shit, my CAT feels empathy for me as long as I feed it and give it some loving.    Now if I drop dead and no one finds me for a week, my cats  will ****ing eat me.

I've got a friend who's a senior captain with the Houston Fire Department.  He's a paramedic supervisor.  He's told me on more than one occasion he would never have a cat.  When they go to a call and find someone who's been dead for awhile and they have a cat ... well, there has been some eating going on.  If they have a dog, he said usually the dog will be sitting beside the owner when they come in ... starving.
