I don't think that non-human animals have the ability to be superstitious.

yeah, i feel that animals can be superstitious. for example if your training an animal and reward it for doing something, they start to think that every time they do that same thing, such as spinning around, they will get a treat. thus making them superstitious to not doing it and no longer getting a treat.

Yes, I do feel that animals can be superstitious. I have two dogs and before they fall asleep they always turn in circles before they lay down. I believe they do this to help make themselves comfortable. I feel that if they don't turn in circles then they will be in an uncomfortable position and not sleep as well. But this is just an observation.

No I do not think that animals have the ability to be superstitious. They have instincts for survival and depending on the animal not much more

No, I do not think that animals can have superstitions. I do not think they have the intelligence to think of superstitions.

No i don't think that animals are capable of being superstitious. I don't believe that they have the thought process to be analytical.

I don't think that animals are capable of being superstitious. They are able to learn what to expect from certain behaviors, but they don't go around scratching 3 times or turning in circles counterclockwise for good luck or anything like that.

I also don't think animals can be superstitious. Most animals have the sense to tell if they do something good or bad depending on the consequences of their actions but superstitions are on a completely different level. As a VERY superstitious person myself, I think superstitions are just too complex for animals.

I don't think that animals can be superstitious. They have no way of knowing what a superstition is. Unless, they too have created the superstitions up like humans have, then they might be superstitious, but I do not believe that they can be.

I believe animials can be superstitous because if they do one thing that doesnt work for them like getting food and they do something else that helps them get the food, then they will fall into the routine that they think will help them get food.

I do not believe that animals can be superstitous,because animals don't process things the same way a human would. They see things in black and white. Everything thing they do involves a simple concept

I believe that animals are superstitious, I especially believe that they have the ability to sense things that we cannot such as paranormal phenomena. Animals are incredibly perceptive and I am sure many of them have habits that have been developed for various reasons that may appear to be superstitious.

I think animals can be superstitious. Their superstition may be on a simpler level than ours, but when you boil it down, it's still being super superstitious.

Yes, animals can be superstitious, but only by the definition of the word. Clearly, animals do not believe in fairy tales. It's a simple matter of definition vs. presumed definition.

I do not think animals are superstitious personally. But then again I am not an animal so it is hard to determine the complexities of their minds. Some topics I'd like to discuss is the effect humans have to improve the environment. Also what we can do decrease our trash amount, like can we produce everything to be biodegradable and recyclable.

i do think that anmails are superstitious, beacuse animals can sense things that we humans can not see or feel. Another reason is beacuse animals learn to do something to get something in return.

I believe animals can be superstitious because they have a mind to think and do many things on they're own for example before dogs lay down they walk in circles

They have to be. If a dog sits on its own, that action alone isn't going to produce food. But because it has happened before, it expects food after sitting even know those events dont really connect.

I would say they are superstitious because they think and learn. They are also more sensitive to the world around them, and can probably sense things we cannot.

No i do not think animals are superstitious. I think they have the ability to remember things such as a daily routine and some fears they might have.
