Mantids do not feel pain

[angelofdeathzz]

Think about this: Is pain real if you don't remember it?

If a Redwood tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it does it make a sound?

yes, it still will release sound energy as it hits the ground

anyways, i hope insects can't feel pain:

Sound is measured in decibels, and decibels need ear or like instrument to be heard, so no ear no sound?

Anyways how can I believe someone who washes their mantis in the washing machine! LOL

oye I just wrote a post about this in an unrelated thread. but point is I believe there is alot more studies that need to be done before this gets decided

i'll try and make it short and sweet.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22266836 Might show that pain can be percieved through ways alternative to nociception, And that is in humans.

http://www.utilitarian-essays.com/insect-pain.html I am still reading this one but it looks to have some good info. I kinda skimmed ricks post but I think it covers alot of the same stuff plus some

I dunno i was just doing a little surfing on the subject and figure i'd maybe bring the debate back to life
