I do believe animals mourn however I don't know if they do it to the extent that humans do. When people have pets, it is easy to notice that the pets take a liking to the owner in most cases and are loving towards them and its easy to see when they don't like people because they'll grow1 or stay away. These are all ways that they communicate with people. But they also communicate with other animals by playing and "talking" with eachother. For this reason I also believe that they build relationships with eachother and when one dies they do feel pain and mourn the death.

I do believe that animals morn and share similar psychological feelings as we do. I believe that animals mourn for eachother and humans. I can say this because when my mother was growing up, she had a cat as a pet. She said that when her father passed away the cat was making weird noises and then later the cat left the house and never returned. Animals do share the same psychological feelings as we do because if the cat didn't have any feelings, the cat would have not left the house. Animal do have emotions and feelings similar to humans.

I believe that animals have the ability to morn for both each other and also for other species. The idea of morning for someone is something that is common across all species and the only difference between them is how they do it. It is also possible that morning is a way that animals try to communicate with each other to pass on the fact that something has happened that should be known by everyone.

I believe humans do morn and share feelings like we do as humans. I think this beacuse all animals have something in common with one another and I believe this is it. Everthing that can breathe and can feel pain can morn. If you get hurt or loose something that is close to you then you are sad and have grief over that.

I do believe animals morn. I believe this because animals can sense feelings like fear and sadness. Monkeys bury their deceased and wolves howl when one of their own dies. This is also evidence that animals morn the loss of one of their own.
