but it is not the same as language like what humans have

And it doesn't have to be. In fact this sort of thinking can limit how we learn about other animals.

Dogs don't pass the mirror test for self awareness like some corvids and a few other animals do. But dogs don't experience each other primarily through vision, scent is much more their main sense. So is that even a valid test for canid self awareness?

Then the less respect he has from the general public, the better.

How can you say that animals don't have language?

As I said in an earlier comment elsewhere in this post:

Have you never seen a dog wag their tail or play bow?

Have you never seen a squirrel twitching their tail at another squirrel who's encroached on their territory?

Have you never encountered any media about whale songs?

All kinds of animals have all kinds of language.

Why would anyone think that thought is unique to humans? Seems absurd to a frightening degree.
