I think that some parrots and primates have larger vocabularies. Possibly other animals like sea mammals, elephants, and cephalopods also demonstrate amzing intelligence and under proper testing might have similar vocabularies. Of course, this is just a trick of scientists, evolutionists and liberal environmentalists to undermine God-given human superiority. http://www.creationsafaris.com/crev0604.htm Me, i think that dogs are smart and cats are just stubborn. My collie saved my life like Lassie when I was a toddler. Despite my kitten disliking being locked in the bathroom it continued when improper behavior - hoping on PC desk. It seems to have stopped when I switched to a squirtgun, however. Gary Denton - Supporting the right to bear squirtguns against evil masters maru #1 on google for liberal news
