The title sucks. It's not even close to accurate.

I thought a fight was gonna break out, what kind of BS is this? You found this entertaining or something? Damn jerry springer easily amused generation of retarded pebcaks. I ate at KFC once, fscking greasy crap. probalby don't change the oil for a month. More tards like you probably working there, wathcing stupid videos like this instead fo doing their fscking jobs. Ain't eating there no more. I cook my own damn chicken. Breaded, or BBQ sauce, baked, fried or grilled, on my worst day it's better than KFCs best.

Why all the screams, then, when sombody uses an animal as food? Let's take lobster, for instance, which people get into some pretty heated debates about. Did you know that they're on the same classification level as insects? Take a look and see their relatives: http://tolweb.org/tree?group=Arthropoda&contgroup=Bilateria

Why the difference, then? Do we only want to save the big animals? Only the cute ones? Why don't we see any "save-the-cockroach" crusades like we see "save-the-lobster" ones?

Lobsters do not have advanced nervous systems so they do not feel pain like we do. Birds and mammals do feel pain just as much as humans do from what I understand.

The question is whether they're actually recognizing it as pain or not. You'll sure as hell see that lobster trying to claw it's way out as you put it in a pot of boiling water, but it's just acting out of reflex, it doesn't have the intelligence needed to comprehend pain.

Many would argue that some other animals also do not posess the intelligence required to recognize pain, they're just acting out of reflex, and that we're personifying them too much.

What animals are you talking about? Intelligence has nothing to do with the capacity for pain. I've been around animals my entire life and I can assure you they feel pain just like we do and have many of the same emotions as humans do.

Reacting as if they felt pain does not correlate directly with feeling or comprehending pain. A fly will writhe if you pull its wing off, but it is incapable of feeling or recognizing pain.

Self-preservation is built reflexively into EVERY being. Just because one being exhibits qualities of it does not mean that it has any capacity to know why.
