Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The issue is sapience, not sentience. To imply that even a stupid human, a sapient being, is in any way comparable to the intelligence of a dog is offensive
So you're saying dogs are incapable of acquiring knowledge or wisdom? They're born and die at the same intellectual level?
I'm saying they're capable of minimal animal-level intelligence, not human-like sapience implying higher thought. I believe this to be fact, not subjective opinion.
Other animal's intelligence is clearly different form human's, but every study they do on the intelligence of animals shows them to be more intelligent and closer to us than was previously thought. You assuming to understand the experience of dogs is, like you said, belief. You should have just stopped there though, because your belief is just that, a belief, not a fact.
