Who doesn’t love chocolate?! (Chocolate) This is more a statement than a question that is being posed in the Endangered Species print advertisement. Chocolate historically was a treat only afforded by royalty and the upper class. It was rare and expensive. The overall appearance of the advertisement is simple and direct. The images of fresh, natural ingredients are appealing to a more mature palate. Children would not be attracted to or understand the relationship between chocolate and salt. Cherries are not an overly sweet fruit and in their fresh state, is an acquired taste.

It allows us to empathize with animals in a way that would be impossible otherwise, which is why researchers like Charles Hockett and Michael Tomasello spend so much time and effort studying animal communication and, more specifically, why animals are unable to learn human language. The downsides to crediting animals with human emotions, such as misattribution and devalorization of the animals’ own emotions, pale in comparison to the benefits we can receive from doing so, both socially and individually. As we can see from the short story “The Buffalo” by Clarice Lispector, anthropomorphizing animals affords us a stronger empathic connection with them, which can help us better understand ourselves and our emotions.
