And after that, ask yourself why veterinarians administer analgesics to a wide variety of animals, including birds.

That really begs the question lol. 

"Soceity has decided that it's the right thing to do! Therefore it must be correct!"

Jesus H. Christ, you sound like Drich, here. Who said anything about 'society'? I'm talking about medical professionals who deal with questions of pain management on a daily basis. I doubt the protocols they've developed over the years are some kind of received folk wisdom, hanging by a thread and ready to fall the moment someone blows their minds with the thought, 'Well, we don't really know what it feels like to be a [insert species of choice], and the animals don't tell me.' 

Ever heard of this thing called religion? Lol. Gay marriage wasn't even legal in America until a few years ago. It's not really an argument to say "Makes you wonder why people do X then!" people get things wrong lol.

Try making an argument that isn't a non-sequitur next lol.

But I'm the one who spews non-sequiturs . . .   

Suggesting that medical knowledge about comparative nervous systems and pharmacology is somehow on a par with religious belief or with people changing their minds about social issues is simply laughable.
