Dear list,
I though Alfonso put that very well.
I think also the question 'do shells have feelings?' a bit irrelevant,
since we cannot ask them; well, we may try, but the chance of getting an
answer is very slim.
I think rather than whether or not shells have feelings, to us as humans
the question that matters is whether or not we think it is morally
justified to kill them.
I might add that even if we think the answer to the above question is no,
by driving our cars, using paper, and simply by living, we kill them anyway
I am probably too down-to-earth to be a good philosopher
Patty
