Anthropomorphisization. (sp?) The application of human
characteristics to things which are not human. That is not to say
that pigs and chickens do not feel, but to attempt to equate the
workings of their minds to ours is, while natural and inevitable in
our species, pointless and egotistical.

I hope the cows think better of us than we do of them. While
anthropomorphism is an interesting theory, it may or may
nor be fact.

That is, it maybe right or it may be wrong i this case;
the work done in the referenced URL gives support to the
notion it does not apply in this instance.
