Why do chimpanzees exist?

Hard drug addicts are pretty much operating at the level of animals.

Yea you are right. I worked in a psychiatry and there are things happening, that you could call operating animals. 

But I saw also hope. Sometimes you can sparkle a low light of conscioussness in that people. When you only think of such people as "animals" I think thats cruel. Even a full blown heroin addict is smarter than most animals.. at least he can get his heroin to "survive"

@Tetrapeter I would argue animals are more clear-headed than addicts. At least animals are not addicted and lairs.

Humans can be worse than animals if they totally let themselves go.

Animals are more reasonable than the folks in most of these police cams.

I have to say this is not the full truth, I'd say around ~80% of the addicts are like that, but if you watch enough videos talking with druggies you'll realise there's a 20% which has quite some head and perspective on life. True their situation is shitty and they recognise their addiction and defects, but also so many experiences with drugs make them have a different perspective on life that in my opinion is more accurate than the average traditional brain-dead Christian or Muslim Joe.

In any long video documentary on the suburbs you'll find one of these persons, and they share interesting perspectives worth considering and not to be thrown in the same bag as their peers and the shit holes where they live.

The thing with cop corruption in particular parts of the world is that if you aren't corrupt you get killed.

Sure, there are functional addicts.

I was talking about the hardcore addicts. They can be like zombies and worse than animals. Many of them also have mental disorders on top of that.

At least animals don't have mental disorders.

Yes, you're right.

I'm not sure about that, but if it happens doesn't seem to be common or maybe they don't survive much.

@Davino Have you ever seen a cat with a mental disorder? I haven't.

Yes - my neighbours cat had to be put down because it developed some sort of rage syndrome. The cat was assaulting him whenever it saw him initially. Then the cat begun assaulting any human it saw. (Assaulting isnt the proper term, I just can't think of a better one).

Dogs can experience trauma. You see it in their behaviour. Dogs that are abused by people, or exposed to too much too early develop chronic fear problems. 

But whether this is a mental disorder or a survival/fear based conditioning is up for debate. Conditioning could be what all mental disorders are. Not really agreeing or disagreeing here. I just think it's gets murky with higher order intelligent animals.

Personality disorder, though? I do not think an animal can have that. It's all human definitions.

[Leo Gura]

Yes, animals develop rage and fear if abused.

[Opulence]

Trauma is not a mental disorder.

But many mental orders are caused by trauma.

I don't know the full story behind the cat that went crazy - but it was put down after it scratched the shit out of my neighbours daughters eye. She went blind in the eye!  

The cat had a different temperament originally. Totally normal, then around age 7 developed some sort of rage issue that permanently shifted it's personality for 2 years before... The eye incident. 

Haha, I just recalled Anastasia mentioning the evil cat in your Demystifysci Podcast ep @Leo Gura

[Carl-Richard]

If mental disorder is a behavior considered severely maladaptive by the surrounding society or evolution, then a cat that for example displays excessive aggression could be considered mentally ill.

@Carl-Richard this is the basis of how I was defining the term in this application. As in, literally the cat had a maladaptive, disorganised behaviour pattern originating from whatever caused it.

My dog used to love playing with other dogs until she began living with a larger dog that would abuse her, she had to stand up for herself against this dog over and over everyday and then when we moved to a new place away from that dog, she began behaving defensively to all dogs and even children. She never went back to her old self. But shes still SPECIAL, so its ok :D.

@integral my dog has an issue as a result of a remarkably similar situation, only she doesn't get defensive when she sees a larger dog or child. She runs in fear with a full tail tuck. The fear is so intense she will run into traffic with zero awareness. I can never let her off the lead now, as a result. Except in small enclosed spaces. Lucky I have a large outdoor rooftop dog run she can move freely in.

Similar trauma - different pathology in behaviour developed!

@Natasha Tori Maru Thats so interesting, does your dog do better with dogs smaller then her? Like less intimidation?

Yep, she is okay with dogs smaller or her size. Larger dogs it's a total no. She is quite reactive on the lead also. 

There is an awareness she cannot escape on the lead - she is less reactive when off lead and is around a larger dog. There is some ability to recognise she cannot escape while on the lead. 

I'm quite fascinated by animal psychology.
