Go find a small dog and kick it really hard. Observe its reaction. There you go, OP. Unless you are a sociopath (in which case it is impossible to help you), you will see that you caused pain to that dog.

I hope that the owner of that dog then shoots you in the face. Good day.

in order to find something unpleasant you need to judge it, that requires subjectivity and subjectivity requires consciousness.

he's right.
the process of sensing injury in the nerves isn't pain.
neither is the reaction in the brain to that sensation.

not by itself anyways.
Pain is the sensation, the reaction, and the conscious awareness of both.

>>
>>1972695

So what's it called then. If they can't experience "PAIN" what is the word for what they can experience. If you burn a dog it will have a negative reaction to it, most normal people would call that pain, why do you call it?
>>
>>1972698
ausfag, if you're honestly interested I can provide a few links.

Most of them can be found in the Wikipedia article, "Pain in Fishes."

Ethologists in general agree an animal must be self-aware to experience pain. Where they disagree is on which animals are self-aware and how to test for that.

no.
>if i kicked you so hard your bones broke would you wince in pain?
humans are demonstrated to be conscious after the mirror stage.
>Would a CAT scan of a dogs brain whilst in pain show the same as a humans?
a CAT scan wouldn't demonstrate pain.

pain isn't hormones
it's not the sensation.
it's not the reaction.

it is the SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE of it.

"Specialized peripheral sensory neurons known as nociceptors alert us to potentially damaging stimuli at the skin by detecting extremes in temperature and pressure and injury-related chemicals, and transducing these stimuli into long-ranging electrical signals that are relayed to higher brain centers."

>>
>>1972712
anesthesia is used to block or weaken the signals to the brain.

you can't be subjective about something you're not experiencing and you can't react to stimuli you're not receiving, so it works for both nociception and pain.
>>1972713
no, pain is the subjective experience of that.

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

"In June, during a series of lectures I presented in Germany, a number of people asked questions of the sort, "Isn't it about time we accept that animals are sentient and that we know what they want and need? Shouldn't we stop bickering about whether they are conscious, feel pain and experience emotions?"

Oh wow this sounds familiar.

""Convergent evidence indicates that non-human animals have the neuroanatomical, neurochemical, and neurophysiological substrates of conscious states along with the capacity to exhibit intentional behaviors. Consequently, the weight of evidence indicates that humans are not unique in possessing the neurological substrates that generate consciousness. Non-human animals, including all mammals and birds, and many other creatures, including octopuses, also possess these neurological substrates."
>>
>>1972708
>1. Dog's aren't concious
bugguy is correct that dogs haven't passed the mirror test.
2. bugguy is also correct that animals that aren't conscious don't feel pain.

>>1972740

"Enter, howling, professor emeritus Marc Bekoff of the University of Colorado. Bekoff thinks a test that uses sight to determine self-recognition is unfair to animals that depend on their noses. Dog brains are much better at smelling than ape brains, so Bekoff decided to design a self-recognition test that would make sense to a dog."
>>
>>1972741
no it's a sign of bad teaching.

>give your source saying dogs don't feel pain
these aren't the christian dark ages, you need to provide evidence that proves they do, it's your claim not mine.
>>
>>1972744
>animals that depend on their noses
the only scientific study I've ever found on the subject found that dogs rely on vision over smell.
>>
>>1972744
>a test that uses sight to determine self-recognition is unfair to animals that depend on their noses.
the primare sense of dogs is sight.

they do not depend on their noses, a blind dog has a low survival rate and a dog that can't smell will lead a fairly normal life.

conscious animals pass the mirror test even if sight isn't their primare sense, unconscious animals don't pass it no matter how much you cherrypick tests to fit their every need.
>>
considering they have pain receptors this is a pretty stupid question
>>
>>1972743

I just love that you're entire argument rests on the mirror test. One flawed test is you're entire definition of conciousness?

the mirror test only demonstrates an important aspect of consciousness.

there aren't tests for consciousness itself, only it's components.

>>

>>1972750

Of course they do, they're not a blind mole.

But they have poor vision when compared to other males/birds and their sense of smell is million times better than ours. Hence why they fucking pee on everything, they rely on scent cues for a lot of stuff.

>For dogs, their color vision is most similar to a human with red-green color blindness, although there are other differences. Dogs are less sensitive to variations in gray shades than humans are, as well as only about half as sensitive to changes in brightness.

>you're retarded
>looks at what bugguy posted

Idiot.

>mfw the only link bugguy has ever posted and it's that
>>
>>1972823
it probably happens.

the same thing happened with outdoor cats, now most of /an/ agrees with me but that wasn't the case 5-6 years ago.
>>
>>1972778
Look fagguy just because you want to justify dog abuse and your furry dreams doesn't mean you're right

>>1972827
ops sorry for the resolution
>>
>>1972831
He's posted it before and not one of you dumbasses took the time to check the JIF on the journal, let alone read the article.

he's not the only idiot in this thread.
>>
>>1972823

No one hears that you idiot. Even Bugguy didn't hear it because he studied Botany.
>>
>>1972826
in english?

most language don't seperate nociception from pain.

like they don't seperate ape from monkey or turtle from tortoise, etc.
>>1972831
like I said if you don't have any arguments just stay out of it, it's not even funny to correct posts like this.
>>
>>1972835

Please stop sucking his dick. It's making you sound like his little bitch.
>>
>>1972836
>No one hears that you idiot.
true.
secret handshakes.
>>
>>1972836
>studie
I bet he read about botany on his journal of science
>>
>>1972833
i don't justify animal abuse.

most people don't realize it but I'm against causing any sort of needless negative stimuli to animals, I don't care whether they're conscious or not.
>>
>>1972837
In french.

read about nociception on wikipedia but it didnt say much
>>
>>1972838
I'm the one that pointed out his "journal" is a fake.

I don't think any more of you for not checking it than I do of him for posting it. How pathetic are you? You claim to have a zoology degree and didn't spot that fake?
>>
>>1972837

>stay out of it

Lol

>ants are concious and dogs aren't
>Bugguy believes this

There is no argument. You're fucking retarded.

Nigger I went and did some other stuff for a while.

>getting on my back because I didn't look at his link the second he posted it

Lol you little bitch.
>>
>>1972842
french doesn't differentiate pain from nociception, they have no word for it.

it's the same issue with most languages.

if you want to study science you'll have to do it in english.
>>
>>1972844
so its true..

oh my god

>>1972844
i don't think ants are conscious, there's just more evidence suggesting they do.
>>1972845
that's not needless, I also don't mind hunting.
>>1972847
we've had this argument atleast 5 times before and that link was posted in 3 of them.

even if it were true, you wouldn't accept it.

you're not a scientist, you're a equal to a biased housewife.
>>
>>1972848
yea I try check my information in english since its the "business" language
>>
>>1972847
this isn't the first time that link has been posted in a thread you were in.
>>
>>1972850

That's awesome
>>
>>1972854

>implying I stay till the end of the thread

I've never seen it before.

>>1972852

Lol

>im bugguy, you have to immediately believe every single thing I say cause i'm an amazing scientist.
>>
>>1972852

>more evidence suggesting ants are more concious

Then our tests are fucking shit.
>>
>>1972858
or dogs just aren't conscious.

some potentially fake journal is still more than the whole lot of nothing dogs have going for the,.
>>
>>1972859

If not one single test can't prove a dog isn't more concious than an ant, then our tests are faulty. How can you even argue that? That's absolutely ridiculous.
>>
>>1972863
>then our tests are faulty
you're biased towards ants.
>That's absolutely ridiculous.
ants are some of the most complex organisms on earth, it isn't ridiculous.

without ants, we die, without us, ants thrive.
>>
>>1972867

I think you mean biased against.

>ants are some of the most complex organisms on earth, it isn't ridiculous

Not from an intelligence standpoint, which is completely necessary for conciousness.
>>
>>1972867
holly shit the arguments on this thread.

>without ants, we die, without us, ants thrive

we have reached autism levels that shouldnt even be possible
>>
>>1972871
>Not from an intelligence standpoint
yes they are.

ants have the highest brain to body in the animal kingdom.
>>
>>1972863
>Dogs demonstrate a theory of mind by engaging in deception, including one example where a dog hid a stolen treat by sitting on it until the rightful owner of the treat left the room.[20] Although this could have been accidental, it suggests that the thief understood that the treat's owner would be unable to find the treat if it were out of view.[20][25]
>>
>>1972873

>implying brain size correlates with intelligence
>implying the fact that ants are smart for an insect means they are "smart"

>Bugguy logic, ants are concious and super intelligent

Holy fucking shit balls.
>>
>>1972883
lack of reading comprehension.

brain to body correlates with intelligence.

stay out of a discussion you're unable to understand.

either way im going to sleep now it's past bed time.
>>
>>1972883
It's funny how you and Ausfag both misspell "conscious" exactly the same way.
>>
>>1972890

That's cause it's me. I didn't mean to have the name off. I'm surprised he didn't notice lol
>>
>>1972896
>I'm surprised he didn't notice lol
I doubt he reads most of the stuff he responds to.
>>
>>1970429
It is easier to convince you that you dont feel pain, cause you are obvious lacking a brain.
>>
>>1972740
>most of the ones that have trouble with it studied under the same autistic professors.
bullshit.
you learned of the concept from me, and I studied under the Queen of Autism, Dr. Grandin.

notice also that the two people promoting the concept are one likely autist and another diagnosed one.

I think autistic people find the concept easier to grasp because we're incapable of anthropomorphizing, we don't read emotions in faces. We don't assume just because something has a face it thinks like us. Something that's clearly demonstrated itt, since presumably most of the anons you're arguing with have faces and not one of them thinks like you.
>>
>>1972940
lol actual autist

saged
>>
>>1972940
you keep pretending that but you know it's not true.
I got most of it from tarantula forums a long time ago.

it works both ways, the only people delusional enough to keep promoting an idea that has zero evidence supporting it in 2k15 are also autists, they're just lower on the spectrum.

I have no issues with any of that.
>>
>>1973072
i've also met a couple people like it over the years.

they're die-hard religious with PDD-NOS, religious arguments function the same way as pro-pain arguments.

they rely on trying to push the burden of proof on the other party and try to appeal to emotions or popularity as much as they can, then when more dumb people show up because they're always loud and annoying they pretend they've won even though they're just standing there yelling nonsensical shit like a bunch of angry chickens.

it's what's happening here, as you can see most of the people arguing against this concept don't actually post any arguments for it they just assume and shitpost like

>>1973072
>you keep pretending that but you know it's not true.
there's no point in lying to me, we both know better.
