Your last sentence sounds speechworthy, udsuna xD

Anyway, while I agree with some of your arguments (haha I actually did read this whole thread ), what you said last was just... incorrect

Animals have souls.

A machine is a device that is only programmed to do certain things. Computers are machines; animals are not. Animals are much more intricate than machines. Can a machine love? Can a machine learn, feel pain, feel anger, feel sadness, undergo emotional scarring, know loyalty? Can a machine feel hunger, act unpredictable, feel tired, grow old? I've had a puppy and a kitten, and I'll have to conclude that they were not machines
