Cows have besties - they hang out with the same other cow and miss them when they're not around (miss like in looking everywhere and being apathetic otherwise).

Cows have besties - they hang out with the same other cow and miss them when they're not around (miss like in looking everywhere and being apathetic otherwise). I guess the biggest problem with anthropomorphism is that mostly implies a black/white understanding - it's either like us or it's a nothing. While the signs I see point to a whole rainbow of nuances with a real difficulty to decide what deserves to be described in human terms and what not. I can agree that no animal is like the humans, but that doesn't make them unconscious or dumb - it only makes them non-human.
