Think of how much more fun an animal farm would be if the animals talked. Think how many more of us would probably be vegetarians if animals could actually tell us how they feel about those slaughter houses. Think how many people would truly find solace and friendships with their pets if they talked back (like that dog in "Up").
This article from BBC discusses the futuristic idea of being able to talk to animals. It seems like an interesting concept, but how would that affect us? I already know I can't stand listening to half the people on the bus, how am I gonna feel when the "pocket puppy" in some chick's purse is adding to it? And how would we as humans change the way we go about our lives if we couldn't shut out the requests of the "lesser beings" around us?
