It is quite true animals have feelings. If one has kept a pet, one would definitely agree to this fact. Animals respond sadly or happily as humans do to sad and happy situations. This fact was well highlighted in the story, The Portrait of A Lady by Khushwant Singh.

After the grandmother breathed her last, she was lifted off the bed and, as is customary, laid on the ground and covered with a red shroud. After a few hours of mourning the family left her alone to make arrangements for her funeral. In the evening, all over the verandah and in her room right up to where she lay dead and stiff wrapped in the red shroud, thousands of sparrows sat scattered on the floor. These were the same sparrows whom the grandmother used to feed every afternoon. There was no chirruping. Everyone felt sorry for the birds and the author’s mother fetched some bread for them. She broke it into little crumbs, the way his grandmother used to, and threw it to them. The sparrows took no notice of the bread. When they carried the grandmother’s corpse off, they flew away quietly.

yes birds and animals have feelings like humans . They react happily or sadly depending upon the situation . It is rightly conveyed by Khushwant Singh in his story "The Portrait of a Lady " . His grandfather was a animal lover and liked to spend time with them . In village she used to feed the dogs but in city she took to feed the sparrows . On the day of her death as the author and his family left the grandmother alone to make arrangements for her funeral . The body was covered with a red shroud and laid on the ground. Thousands of sparrows created a veritable bedlam around courtyard . The authors mother throwed the bread to them the way his grandmother used to but the sparrows took no notice of bread and flew away .Hence its justified that animals too have feelings
