Who thinks that? Is it true or you'd just like to think it that way?
It isn't even relevant. We're talking about meat here. Animals made of meat have the same capacity for experiencing pain and self-awareness. Animals want to live and try avoid death. Even mosquitoes.
> Animals made of meat have the same capacity for experiencing pain.
This is what I don't see as a clear and obvious truth. You shouldn't get on my case for throwing something out there without any kind of validation and then do the same thing yourself.
So their nervous system and brain pain centers (which look just like ours), the physical reaction to pain, the chemical reaction to pain (stress, releasing adrenaline...) and all the death avoidance... that's just a ploy?
I'm not sure about mosquitoes, but I'm pretty sure meaty animals do feel pain.
