Consent; to give assent or approval.

You can say that animals can't do certain things, but give consent? They can't tell you whether they want something or not - whether they approve or not? Do you own pets, have you ever interacted with an animal? They most assuredly have personalities, likes and dislikes.
Can my dog tell my doctor what my medical directives are?
