I think of it as all the proof I need that those who decry "anthropomorphizing animals is wrong" are themselves wrong. Humans don't have exclusive dominion over thought, feeling or even creativity.
...and I think you need to look up what the definition of anthropomorpisation really is if you´re implying that anthropomorphisation excludes attributing animals with thought, feeling and creativity. Nobody I know does that, including me...animals do have feelings, thoughts and what you could call "creativity", but it´s far from the concepts humans have of these three words. Anthropomorphisation is pressing animal behaviour into these human concepts, mostly because "the fish aren´t aware of the water they´re swimming in"...
