5.  After reading and taking notes, write a one paragraph response to the following question:
Do you think that animals have feelings?  If no, why not?  If yes, WHY and what kinds of feelings do you think they have?  Be specific, For example:  love, hate, envy, desire, likes and dislikes, sadness, joy.
 
Try to use the information you wrote in your notes about Octopus Intelligence to support your ideas as you write.
For example, you might write
"The article says octopuses are intelligent.  Since we know they are smart, isn't it also possible that they have feelings? This means other animals could have feelings too.   In fact, I am certain that cats and dogs have feelings.  They have moods, just like humans.  Sometimes they want to play, other times they are not social.  This behavior shows likes and dislikes.  Having likes and dislikes is having feelings."
