Animals, do they cry?

my grandparent told he saw his ox crying before they kill it for its beef. in some countries ox/cow/bull is as holy as god. so i do think animal cries.

I've seen my pets' eyes get really wet and teary before, but I really think it was just from dust or dirt they got in their eyes. I do believe that animals have sorrow sometimes, but I don't think they can physically cry the same way we do.

I have too many pets, but it wasn't really by my choice. I do love each of them tho. I don't know about tears falling. But I do know that my 3 dogs make different expressions on their faces. I can tell when my little chihuaha is upset. She looks like her eyes are welled up with tears, and her taco ears are down.

~ hi, again! I think they cry, but maybe they are not crying like us- with tears, but I think they do. only because they are animals(not reasonable, becaues we are also animals, but most of us reasonable :) ) I don't think they can't or not cry!~

Have you ever seen turtles lay eggs? I have seen documentaries on TV that when these giant turtles lay their eggs, they actually have tears rolling down from their eyes. I am not sure whether I saw it correctly. If they really cry, could it be the pain? Or the thought that they have to leave their babies once they are done with the laying? Also, there was once when I visited a friend in a small village in China. There was this elderly woman who lived a few doors away, and was about to slaughter a chicken. I have never seen how a chicken was slaughtered. Out of curiosity, I went to take a closer look. The chicken was not only clucking loudly, wings flapping wildly, but also shedding tears, as if pleading the woman to spare its life. I felt so sorry for it that I prayed for it.

Hmm..but we see on TV about elephants and whales that shed tears..and also turtles, when they lay their eggs at the beach..there are tears falling, but not sure if they are crying like..really crying like humans XD

99% of all animals cannot produce tears or they won't produce tears during misery. The walrus, the elephant, the seal and the sea otter seem to be able to cry. When and how I don't know but they simply seem to be able to produce tears. ;)

eyes of animals like the human eye, protected by a membrane that has a discharge capacity (tears)

I haven't experience it with my cats. They don't cry. When I punish them for doing something wrong they don't cry. =D
