Regan says, "They [animals] are not only in the world, they are aware
of it, and also what happens to them." Bullshit. Animals are *not*
aware that they are in the world, they don't even know there's a world,
and they have no concept whatever of any "fate" in store for them.

Regan: "And what happens to them matters to them." Wrong.

"Like us, they bring a unified psychological presence to the world."
Bullshit - pure mealymouthed psychobabble.

No rational philosophy can come from a basis of such unmitigated bullshit.
