People have different ideologies and they're the basis for approaches to the problem. Nothing can be proved in everyone's terms. And dogs might be sexist or racist or really dislike hats, but they can't tell how someone voted in the last election.

Which, incidentally, was the same for the “Do dogs have souls” question. For political reasons, it became a pressing matter for the Catholic Church to make a pronouncement on. So they did. And their decree carried weight because they were a politically influential body.
