      I’ve wondered this before: most animals have a sense of smell magnitudes stronger Than humans. But I’ve also seen situations where smells are so bad the humans are reaching but the animals don’t care.

      Do animals not have the same “gross” reactionary instinct?

        I’ve thought about this also. I assumed we evolved to be grossed out by things if they are dangerous or poisonous. The ones who loved the smell of sulphur or rotting flesh …didn’t make it.

        You have seen how dogs say hello to each other, right? By choice.
