The idea that Animals cannot reason is also flawed parrots have been shown to reason like 3 year olds http://www.livescience.com/22178-parrots...-olds.html.
Shown this the omnivores switch the goalposts and then claim that It's all about 'self awareness' but then there are self aware animals too http://listnation.blogspot.com/2012/03/9...aware.html
Why having reason or self awareness should be criteria for NOT having suffering forced upon you is also never explained. It is completely arbitary, just as arbitary as claiming that people with black skins have no souls and can be enslaved.
However the argument from reduced capacity is one that the omnis have never been able to answer, they generally avoid the question like the plague or come up with some religious influenced bullshit to defend their position.
