From the page: "In Mead's view, animals lacked the ability to employ symbols and were, therefore, unable to negotiate meaning and take the role of co-interactants. Their behavior was directed toward achieving simple goals such as acquiring food or defending territory, but because they were unable to use language, their behavior was devoid of meaning. They were mindless, selfless, and emotionless."
