"The dogs, the cats, and the horses are animals."

Translation: Los perros, los gatos y los caballos son animales.

[priella1]

Los perros, las gatas, y los caballos son animales. < ---- I typed that

But it has this ------- > Los perros, las gatas y los caballos son animales.

In Spanish, the second comma doesn't necessarily need to be there?

[rspreng]

people argue about whether it must be there in English

[dahliavkarma]

In fact, many English learners were taught that the second comma in a sentence like this is NOT necessary --though the textbooks told us to add a comma before an 'and' :P

Personally I think the english sentence should read "Dogs, cats and horses are animals". I think the Spanish translation is the same but it makes a little more sense to me.
