I love animals with a passion. I would never have intercourse with them however. They are very good company and can be better company than humans. Even if a good number of people out there don't believe they have souls or slight intelligence, I believe they do. Animals may have smaller brains but you've got to consider how little of our brain we use. Animals also have a different form of communication and overall a different form of thought process. Just because something doesn't think the same as you doesn't mean they don't have a soul or intelligence. We are animals as well. I don't care what people think�we ARE just another animal. I still eat animals though.
