I've always understood it that the issue isn't that you can't understand it, its that there's not that much useful information to read:
Vulture: "That looks... Alive. That looks... Alive. That looks... Alive. Oh, Birds are circling over there. Looks like food. That looks... tasty"
Cow: "Food.... Food.... Food.... Movement--Thats just a farmer. No threat. Food..."
If you search a squirrels mind for creatures passing by you may not get images or even types, just sizes and numbers. If you read a dog's mind you may be able to find out whether or not his master is home, and whether or not the master reads the paper, but not which paper he reads.
