"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.
That is ludicrous. Absurd.
*You* automatically cry out in pain if you're slashed; so somehow, that's *just* an "autoMATED" response that has nothing to do w/feelings?
This makes no sense whatsoever. Why cry out? What's the purpose? If the animal feels nothing, there's no point in crying out! For crying out loud....
A cat is most definitely a living being; a car is not. I love both, but I'm well aware it's my CAT that experiences pain, whereas my inANIMate car does not.
