If we accept this fact then would not be fair for the animals. We are forgetting one thing here which is that the animals are also intelligent in many ways. One thing that is known to ALL living beings is that the need for food! It is an instinctive factor which makes them hunt for food when hungry. So when they refuse eating food even when they are hungry, they know that it is harmful. so it CAN Be called as committing suicide.

I hope you will agree to this.

That's an interesting news but I don't think it is very much logical. A very common example that I want to give is cats and dogs. Whenever they have an upset stomach or are feeling ill, they completely abstain themselves from eating food. At that point if you keep their extremely favorite foods right under their noses, they will still refuse it. Sometimes, to make themselves better, they eat grasses, yes cats and dogs do eat grasses when ill, to flush out their stomach off of whatever is making them ill. If this is not self-awareness, then what is? So saying that they are not aware of what they are doing or what will harm them is an insult to their intelligence.

Animals have also brain but this is more an instinct. The examples given are about domestic or pet animals. These animals acquire some human traits owing to sheer company. Possibly, a dog may follow the naster in observing fast or other habits. Some animals are insects may have instinctive irge for suicide. Man is the only living being who mayplan and execute.

Animals have less reasons for suicide. They do not get frustration from failures in business, romance, career, speculation and gambling loss. They have neither instinct nor reason to commit suicide
