This. Lots and lots of people, especially when I was younger, would go on about how “animals” (non-humans) can’t experience pain or emotion. 30 years of evidence to the contrary later, fuck 'em.
It wasn’t until the (late) 1980’s that there was universal acceptance that baby human’s felt pain.

Its not better that this was the case, but it’s a little more even-handedly stupid.
