    Thanks. I tried to scrub the fbid... part (FB adds its own "tag" to links and I try to remove them) and I messed up.

    This one is fixed.

    No problem.

    Very interesting. I think many of us believe reptiles have feelings. Cool to verify.

    Sad how many people don’t think about that and treat them poorly, as we know.

    Love it! I've thought this for years, having known a great many.
    Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.
    Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)

    The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” ~ Gandhi

    I've always believed that reptiles (and all animals, really) are more intelligent and capable of experiencing emotions than can be scientifically proven. Nice to see actual research backing this up!
