Any particular reason you're coming out of nowhere making statements like this?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You said there were two things that make humans unique. You've named one: rationality. You bundled it with the ability to feel pleasure and pain, but then said that animals can also feel pleasure and pain.

So what's the second thing?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Which then contradicts your earlier statement that animals can feel pleasure and pain, as well as humans.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

And that, then, leaves us with the other of those two things you said there were that make humans unique. If the ability to feel pain and pleasure isn't unique to humans, what is that second thing?

Under Canadian law, animals are still treated merely as property and not as an individual. Many people, including myself think it's time for this to change.

Legally speaking, "an individual" is usually taken to mean a person. Are you suggesting that animals should be treated as people?

Secondly, the Canadian Criminal Code aren't the only laws in Canada. What does provincial law say on the matter?

I was speaking idiomatically.
