Why do people....... More.....

Why do some people feel the need to humanize their reptiles???? Why is it that some people think that their reptiles Like or love them???? I for one, think this is a bad idea..... You are not really educated on reptile behavior if you think they run on emotions like humans do..... They are reptiles and I feel they are not high enough on the evolutionary scale to feel emotions like we do..... They run almost 100% on instinct..... Alot of people confuse some reptiles with having a personality when in actuality it is individual instinctive behaviors...... Am I the only one that is thinking this way???? I mean do some of you actually think your reptile pets ask to be taken out of their cage or will get jealous if you have a different one out of the cage???? It is true that you need to love the animals you have but why would anyone think or expect a reptile to show love and emotion back???? I think it is an unhealthy way to look at reptiles.....
