I find titles such as this one offensive. Who is "we"? Because everyone who isn't a complete idiot knows that animals are not stupid. Crows, cats, dogs, pigs, snakes, insects - clearly not stupid.
Arrogance seems like the major component but it binds really well with ignorance. As a kid, it never occurred to me that certain creatures appear dumb because they have trouble navigating our world. Well, no shit. Almost nothing is built to help anyone but us. Animals do not have the same vision or hearing as us. Doesn't make them stupid.
- selcuka 4y ago> everyone who isn't a complete idiot knows that animals are not stupid To be fair the article doesn't claim anything like that. We already knew that crows are smart, but it turns out they are smarter than we thought.
