But on the opposite end many people are also afraid to recognize how similar many of the base emotions animals feel that are similar to humans. We all followed a similar evolutionary path after all. And most animal research just keeps finding more and more similarities between humans and other animals. We know animals have sentience and feel pain, fear, and even joy. But people would rather not think about that because it's inconvenient and incompatible with how much we exploit and harm them.

I mean realistically it might be why so many humans are depressed. Our society doesn't necessarily reflect what we need for stimulus, even if it is more convenient in some ways.
