Your telling me that you believe the dragon 'gets phsyched' when he 'knows' he is going to be taken for a car ride?
I didnt say they dont have emotions at all, just that some emotions and feelings that do not exist in reptiles are being attributed to the dragon. I will go through the whole thread later and pull out more of the examples such as the one i gave you here...If you believe it, explain to me how they get psyched as every single animal behaviour book i have ever read never mentioned such behaviour...Dont forget this is not mating we are taking about but a car ride...
People that write books on animal behaviour rarely study them in pet like conditions, it is either in a lab or in a natural environment and they usually have pretty preconceived ideas about the animals they study before they even start research. It is very hard to do an unbiased scientific study into such things as behaviour because the person doing the study is usually out to prove one thing or another. Take lab animals for example, a scientist working in a lab that experiments with animals is not going to produce a paper that shows rats have emotions or feelings as then that would raise all sorts of moral questions.
