Are you saying by your post that animals don't feel pain?

Their distress is not analytical - oh my I have a broken leg and I may have trouble walking in the future - but animals do feel pain just as we do. Did you believe otherwise?

"Are you saying by your post that animals don't feel pain?"

Correct. "Pain" is a subjective word and has no context outside of humans. We only know that other humans feel pain because we are one ourselves and WE feel pain. It is a thing that cannot be measured.That is the only basis we have.

We don't have that basis in animals, so my post 105 applies.
