That would be a boring job.

Counting isn't maths
My Daughter can count but she can't do multiplications

Yes but when you say to the horse "what's 2 X 2"
It taps it's hoof 4 times. I've seem it, it was dead impressive.

Trained to do it I bet
Like when that bloke in that film taught his kid to spell really long words but she couldn't spell cat. I bet the horse couldn't spell cat either!

Ok then....................show me a pic of an animal that isn't a human that has produced art without being aided by a human.

A lot of human artists are aided by humans
and apes have been knows to use white clay to paint in the wild

Also along this line
I cannot do art, does this make me not human?

It's not that I doubt the importance of art, I just don't think it's essential to being human.

Same goes for Maths BTW.
