She isn't a "person with feelings" in any meaningful sense of the word. She can't even react properly to outside stimuli her development is so arrested. My cat is more of a person than Ashley. She's far better able to comprehend her environment, think and aspire than poor Ashley, yet few communities have banned body modifications to housepets (declawing, neutering, spaying, etc.).
Tell me Julie, do you also get as worked up and self-righteous regarding the millions of male circumcisions performed in America every year? Do you think that's morally and ethically wrong?
