Do Animals Feel Pain??

Burn the book that your studying that suggests animals don't feel pain.

And yes, I literally mean, burn it.

Haha what third world studies are you referring to?

I'm not sure if they feel pain, but I have heard that a good cure for a headache is to kick a Bear in the balls.

Well that is the dumbest thing I've heard all day. Of course animals feel pain. Have you never had a pet in your life?

Geez...I've even read studies that suggest plants can feel pain.

If you haven't figured it out yet from the other responses....let me spell it out for you....

Ofcourse they do!!!!!!

Sorry....don't mean to be so blunt but, I have a house full of animals and found your question slightly (okay...greatly) disturbing.

In fact....one of my dogs was reading over my shoulder and I had to restrain her from attacking the monitor!

(Is this a serious question?)

They also have a sense of humor. My dog is laughing at the stupid human right now. He wants me to smack you to see if you say ouch.

Well - that's not true. He wanted me to slam your tail in the car door like I did to him about a month ago - but I explained you don't have one.

I met a Buddist monk a few years on my travels and he enlightened me about this topic. In honesty I was ignorant about all this before I met him. His answer was that when we cut ourselves on our finger, isn't it painful even a small cut? Animals feel the same amount of pain but cannot talk except scream. If you look at it logically, they have the same blood color and similar organs to humans. Any living thing whether human or animal have similar senses and feel pain, happiness and other emotions. The monk had positive energy around him and his face was lit up. I've never seen someone so content and happy.

The other example I can give you happened in one of the parks in London. Whilst walking, I saw a teenager kicking his dog several times. I told him to stop and I would report him to the animal protection unit (RSPCA). I was going to take the law into my own hands and kick the teenager the same way as I have a black belt in karate but then the law would have been against me. The poor dog was still screaming from the football type kicks, sat down to recover for a few mins and went came back to the owner. We can learn a lot from animals. Even though this poor dog was kicked and felt the pain, he was still loyal to his owner. ''Maybe we as humans have got it all wrong''

Animals can't speak, that's why they can't tell they are in pain. But obviously they can feel pain.

of course animal can feel pain, they only different between animal and human are only we have heart and mind (oh some of them have more feet maybe). CMIW

Yes it will feel.

Obviously the feel pain.
They are also natural creature,they have life,feelings.

How about worms then? Reason i ask is that I went fishing and put that little hook right up the worms inside. It didn't scream tho.

Folks, give the OP a break. He didn't say he likes to kick his dog in the butt each morning, before coffee, and wondered if it hurts. He asked a legit question.

Ummm, yeah, they do. I prescribe analgesia in animals all the time because they hurt just like we do. I'd love to see the studies you're referring to.

yes, animal also feel pain...

Yes they feel pain. Not only that, but they mourn.
