Animal Emotions – what are they like?

Most  people agree that non-human animals are capable of simple primary  emotions, like fear and anger. However, there has been debate over their  abilities to perceive complex emotions like jealousy, boredom and  empathy. In this talk, I will present some recent research based on both  behaviour and physiology showing that at least other vertebrates are  most likely experiencing similar complex emotions as we do, and I will  also reflect on the ethical consequences of these insights.
