The "List"
The animal rights people are in a desperate need of a list. What is conscious, and what is not. What can feel "the desire to live", and what can not. And such things. Some of them try to make one."My personal opinion, although I can not prove it, is that the demarcation line for consciousness lies somewhere in the insect world."Aside from being a quite lame attempt at making such a list, this again demonstrated the basic inability of vegans/ARs to grasp simple biological concepts. This one draws a "demarcation line", and it lies "somewhere in the insect world". As a biologist, I have to ask: what is above (or to the right of), and what is below (or the the left of, it doesn't matter) that line? Obviously, there are insects on both sides. Which insects? Where are the spiders? Sponges? Molluscs? Sea cucumbers? I asked, and hope to get an answer.
