Some people say human beings differ from animals because we have culture and we have conscience. They also say animals are unable to exercise free choice. But are we really so different?I think there isn't such a large difference between human beings and animals. It is true we have the ability to make choices, and some of us are highly intelligent. But many scientific studies have shown that animals, such as the octopus and the dolphin, are also very clever. They can make decisions based on the information they have. Perhaps humans are intelligent enough to control animals, but that does not mean animals completely lack intelligence.
