Who What Now posted:Well, more the "follow directions as given by the trainer = don't get beaten" calculation in its brain. Whether or not elephant art is "true art", or if animal pain is "real pain" don't seem like important questions here. Exaggerating the differences between humans and non-humans is a way of rationalizing how little we value non-human life. What's relevant is to what degree animals desire freedom from pain, freedom of movement, and community with its peers. Does anyone really think apes do not desire these things?
