�Cows look calm, but really they are gay nymphomaniacs,�.

If that quoted sentence is not sensationalist enough to make you want to read the article, I don’t know what will.

Some good points in the article though – intelligence as measured by the ability to suffer? Being *humane* towards animals? How is that for imposing human standards on animals? It raises the question what conceptual framework should we use to approach how we should live together with animals – we can no longer say we are incapable to do that because of impossibilities of communication since, as this article shows, we are increasingly getting better at understanding animals, their needs, feelings and dare I say it? thoughts.
