    "DO DOGS APE?" OR "DO APES DOG?" AND DOES rr MATTER? BROADENING AND DEEPENING COGNITIVE ETHOLOGY By MA~c BEKOFF4' "Certainlyit seems like a dirty double-cross to enter into a relationshipof trust and affection with any creaturethat can enter into such a relationship, and then to be a party to'its premeditated and premature destruction."1 I. RAiN WrrHouT TmmDER, ANimAS Wrrour MINDS In Rain Without Thunder, Gary Francione raises numerous impor- tant issues and takes on many important people.2 The phrase "rain with- out thunder" made me think about the notion of animals without minds- animals without thoughts or feelings. This idea is troublesome for the nonhuman animals (hereafter animals) to whom it is attributed because it is much easier for humans to exploit animals when we believe that they don't have thoughts or feelings. I have been privileged to study various aspects of animal behavior for over 25 years, including animal cognition3 (cognitive ethology), and have attempted to learn more about how the study of animal cognition can aid discussions of animal protection. 4 As a * Professor of Biology, University of Colorado, Boulder;, A.B. and PILD., Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri; Guggenheim Fellow and Fellow of the Animal Behavior Soci- ety; Correspondence: Marc Bekoff, 296 Canyonside Drive, Boulder, Colorado 80302; Emaih [email protected] 1 LAWRENCE E.

Both areas are identified on Figure 2, they were investigated, and the findings are presented in this letter report. NORTH STF SUSPECTED WASTE AREA The North STF suspected waste area was identified in 2008 during the Third Phase Investigation. History Sixteen shallow borings were advanced (STFPSB-0 I through STFPSB-16) as part of the Third Phase Investigation to assess the extent of the buried material during pipeline removal activities. The borings shown on Figure 3 were installed using a Geoprobe® rig to a maximum depth of eight feet, transecting the area.

We report the first direct observations of meat eating and sharing among bonobos at Iyema, Lomako Forest, Democratic Republic of Congo. We collected meat consumption data ad libitum from June to November 2017 over 176.5 observation hours and conducted monthly censuses to measure the abundance of potential prey species. We observed 3 occasions of duiker consumption and found indirect evidence of meat consumption twice (n = 5). We identified the prey species as Weyn’s duiker (Cephalophus weynsi) in all 4 cases that we saw the carcass. This species was the most abundant duiker species at Iyema, but other potential prey species were also available. Meat sharing was observed or inferred during all 3 observations.

  • Can Animals Think?
    GRADE 6 LITERACY: CAN ANIMALS THINK? UNIT OVERVIEW The Can Animals Think? task is embedded in a 3-4 week unit that uses the topic of animal cognition as a means to teach students how to analyze and navigate informational texts as well as study the purposeful decisions an author makes to best convey his/her point of view in writing. This unit contains a series of 3 tasks that build in complexity. TASK DETAILS Task Name: Can Animals Think? Grade: 6 Subject: Literacy Depth of Knowledge: 3 Task Description: This task asks students to read an informational text and write an essay in which they use textual evidence to explain how the author develops his/her point of view on the question, “Can animals think?” Responses must adhere to standard English grammar and usage convention, focusing on standard capitalization. Standards: RI. 6.1 Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. RI.6.3 Analyze in detail how a key individual, event, or idea is introduced, illustrated, and elaborated in a text (e.g., through examples or anecdotes). RI.6.6 Determine an author’s point of view or purpose in a text and explain how it is conveyed in the text. RI. 6.10 By the end of the year, read and comprehend literary nonfiction in the grades 6–8 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range. W.6.2 Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas, concepts, and information through the selection, organization, and analysis of relevant content.
