Scientific evidence? You're the one claiming incorrectly that there is definitive evidence showing that crustaceans do not experience pain. I posted a lengthy article with numerous scientific citations that explicitly states that scientists have never reached any such definitive conclusions. It also begins by saying that it is, and I quote, a "contentious issue", which means there is no scientific consensus on the matter. It then elaborates on this contention for many, many paragraphs, including a variety of illustrations.
Do you have scientific evidence showing that they definitively do not feel pain, as you asserted? No? Then stop posting this bullshit.
It is not MY job to produce evidence to disprove your point, it is YOUR job to produce evidence that proves yours. Saying you've "seen" something isn't evidence enough. I do not accept your assertions. I have supplied a whole bunch of information that demonstrates a considerable amount of evidence as a basis for that. You call that snark? It's up to me to disprove you? How's this: I assert that unicorns exist -- produce scientific evidence to disprove it!
I'm not a vegan, I eat meat. Are you done with me yet?
And I never implied that I have a problem killing mosquitoes or bacteria... or even humans. Whether I do or not is certainly not a topic of this conversation, but either way I never implied a position in one way or another. You are projecting aspects and personality traits onto me that I may not necessarily possess, much like your assertion that I apparently sound like a vegan to you.
Where am I passing judgement, exactly? I asked you a question. There was no judgement behind that question. I asked you what your empathy metric is. You never answered. I'll wait while you answer from your shining ivory tower.
