Shockingly I do not sport a goatee beard (I'm currently sporting what the other half frequently describes as a bloody mess of a beard) but you can call it evil if you like.

As for anthropomorphising observed non-human behaviour it's fun, it might have some practical applications but it's not really scientific.

I like to believe certain animals have human-like feelings but at the end of the day it's almost impossible to approach anything like certainty.

I behave as if they might as a mixture of personal taste and caution.

Besides animals have enough qualities worthy of consideration on their own merits without the need to attribute human properties to them.

Anything you want to add to them is your own affair.
