What if every animal could speak English?

As someone who has quite a few pets, I'd be very interested into hearing what my pets had to say if they had the ability to speak my language. I can almost imagine having a debate with my little rabbit while we drink our cups of tea. Do you think it'd be a good thing if animals could communicate with us in our own language? Or, it is best that they remain the way they are?

I thought about this today. I wondered what it would be like for an animal to be able to communicate with me. It was be exciting and interesting! I would want to know their thoughts. I would hope that my animal would be able to tell me what someone is saying about me. Good or bad things. I would want to know how they feel about me being their pet owner. It would be fun if they were able to communicate with me, and then again, it would be really scary to see an animal talk to me directly. I guess in this area, it would be best if they stay on the cartoons, it does not seem so scary then..

Phew, it's a relief to see that I'm not the only person that thinks this way. Then again, there are some freaky animal cartoons out there. The dog from "Son of the Mask" comes to mind.

well i too have many pets and i think of it this way. they are like children that cant talk,that you can put outside for awhile,or just ignore for awhile,like children that dont back talk! BUt not if they could talk! oh hell talk about never a moments peace! It would be awesome as long as it was a limited vocabulary with no back talk or annoying but just basic stuff though!

I would be curious to hear what my cat Riley had to say. She likes to have conversations where I will talk to her and she will respond right back. This can go on forever until I get tired of hearing her meow. My pup, Seymour, on the other hand I would probably never want to communicate with. I'm sure it would just be a constant chant of "Sausage, Sausage, Bacon, Sausage." I would go nuts!
