So that's why we should err on the side of caution, assume that animals who act like they have emotions actually have emotions, and give them the respect and rights they deserve as fellow thinking feeling beings?
Oh wait, no, let's torture, kill, and eat them because we can't "prove", to whatever arbitrary "scientific" standard, they have the same intellectual and emotional capacities we do.
That escalated quickly, and completely deviated from the subject of the comic.
