I’ve always believed that animals were able to feel just as much, maybe a little more or less, as humans do. In my mind, it never occurred to me that people would ever think that animals didn't have the ability to feel pain. Emotions, I understand, could be questionable because people choose how they want to see and interpret things. For me, a dog or cat whose face that I look into is easier for me to believe can feel emotions than an ant or a cockroach that I will ultimately step on and crush until they die…. in a nice way. But if you were to ask an insect enthusiast how they felt on the matter, they would most likely disagree with me. In one of the responses to Rifkin, Bob Stevens, who is against Rifkin’s claims, says that Rifkin is implying that animal lives are more important than human ones. I didn’t feel that that was necessary because I feel that taking Rifkin’s claims and twisting it in a way that could make a reader hate animals in uncalled for. All in all I do believe that animals can feel pain and some can feel emotions so they should be treated like they should.
