Human/Nonhuman Animals

I feel that the core difference between humans and animals is our ability to reason and communicate with each other. We as humans have morals and values that we use to make decisions every day while animals don't have that ability. We go about our every day things making more advanced choices and decisions that animals are not able to make. I feel that animals emotions compared to ours are more complex. They are not necessarily stronger or weaker, but they have more depth to them. Animals don't know right and wrong. They struggle for physical survival just as much if not more than we do, but our emotional survival is much trickier. When it comes down to it animals work more off instinct than reason which is a huge difference.
