So contradicting the Descarte’s pituitary supposition does not actually contradict Descarte’s dualism hypothesis itself.
But it does make the anti-vegan claim "Only human beings have souls, other animals don't feel pain." look pretty baseless, doesn't it?
I think the best way to disprove the notion that animals don’t feel pain is to look at an animal in pain.
