On one hand I agree that the human-exceptional bias that seems to pervade society is sad, and we should be over it given how well we know our pets.
On the other hand, it's nice to see more news exposure of views that animals are similar to humans.
On the gripping hand, there's a reason for this bias - it's inherent part of human (and possibly animal) nature - to justify our superiority. It's also useful for certain groups in power to keep these biases strong.
