I think Rifkin’s ideas apply more towards superior animal with definite intellect and…

For quite some time now the issue of animal cruelty has rapidly grown within Queensland. Animals are beaten, neglected, or forced to struggle for survival. They are left in unsanitary conditions with no food or water with little hope as they live out their days without the compassion they deserve leaving helpless animals to die each year. The penalties imposed by the current Queensland Criminal Code 1899 (Section 242) and the Animal Care and Protection Act 2001 (QLD) (Section 17, 18 and 19), are…

The first process is when nerves in the skin sense something harmful and communicate that information to the spinal cord. There the motor neurons activate movements that cause us to react; this is the physical recognition of harm known as nociception. Nearly all animals even those with simple nervous systems experience it because without it animals would be unable to avoid harm and their survival becomes threatened . The second process is called conscious recognition. In humans, this will occur…

Animals don’t have feelings. This is the argument used for ages to support harsh experimentation on animals.

In the case of “We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves,” the experiment with Fern broke a…
