So, do you believe all animals experience emotion then? What about insects? Bacteria, single-cell organisms? But not plants...right?

Are you for freeing all living creatures of harm done to them because of humans, or just the cute, people-like creatures? Where is the line drawn? And what reasons do you have for drawing the line where you've drawn the line, and why would you expect anyone to follow your arbitrary guideline of which creatures have emotion and are worth fighting for, and which are not?

I dont believe animals are smart enough to have emotion. Maybe elephants and chimps...maybe... You dont really see us eating the more intelligent animals anyway... And if you say chickens are intelligent, I swear to god...

I think you need a base intelligence in order to have emotions, or to be affected by them the way that we are. Babies aren't emotional, they become emotional beings later, when their brain has developed enough.

Look, its unfortunate for chickens and cows and lamb and pig that they are as tasty as they are. Maybe these animals should put their distraught emotion (over the fact that their whole purpose is to become my lunch) to good use and work harder to get their way up the food chain. Until that time comes, they will continue to be part of my diet.

And thanks for taking the time to site links, many people dont take the time to research what they're fighting for, its refreshing to see you do, even if I dont agree with you, I respect your position more.
