There are many different animals that have the ability to be self-aware. In addition to humans, some animals that are self-aware include bottlenose dolphins, apes, and elephants.
There are animals who are self aware. All great apes, elephants, dolphins, and the european magpie pass the mirror test.
The injunction is not to harm sentient (self aware) beings. This may include higher animals and those as far down the evolutionary scale as you feel are still aware. This is very difficult to determine and so many Buddhists will not harm any animals. All that said some/many Buddhists eat meat, slap at mosqitos and make wear leather.
You cannot force someone to become self-aware. A person needs to choose to become self-aware. The best way to become self-aware is to meditate.
None that I am aware of.
awareness is being AWARE and yes, animals do, if they didnt all would die. they prey needs to be aware of the predators, the predators need to be aware of where the prey is. and we are animals and we are aware
Aware considering many different opinions of a wide variety of people then decide for your self.

Yes
shelfware, self aware
It's hard to put them in a definitive order because scientists have observed certain species more than others but multiple sources list these animals in the top 10: -Chimpanzees/Orangutans and essentially any other big ape (known to be self-aware) -Dolphins (known to be self-aware) -Elephants (known to be self-aware) -Pigs -Octopi (Octopus) -Rats -Crows -Cats -Dogs -Horses Other animals that are considered intelligent but vary from source to source: -Owls -Falcons -Whales -Raccoons -Parrots -Squirrels -Pigeons *Self-aware in this case is described as an animal's ability to pass the mirror-test. The mirror-test entails: marking the skin of a sedated or sleeping animal somewhere on their body that is not directly visible but can be seen in a mirror, then allowing the animal to see itself in the mirror. If the animal reacts by spontaneously grooming that area (aka notices the mark) it recognizes itself in the mirror and is said to be self-aware.
