My perspective is that the beast runs from innate reaction (aka instinct); not because it is aware that "death" is coming for it, but moreso to allow its species to continue. It is just like when we rush towards animals, they tend to run away; even though we are not predators.

Now the big question is do animals have a conscience? I say no. They do not know death because they lack what we possess: the cerebral cortex, the "true" processor of the mind and spirit.




well...i partially agree with this but i think animals recognize that the other animals that got caught during the chase are no longer walking with them in the herd.

Thank you, Soul.  Yes, you're right.  I meant Darwin.  :grin:  Swami should have caught that when he caught my misspelling.  :grin:

"Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It, knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle; when the sun comes up you'd better be running."

Insert an "I think" mentally in front of eveything I say that seems sketchy, because I certainly don't KNOW much. Also; feel free to yell at me.
