How much pain do animals feel？ This is a question which has caused endless controversy。 Opponents of big game shooting， for example， arouse our pity by describing tile agonies of a badly－wounded beast that has crawled into a comer to die。 In countries where the fox， the hare and the deer are hunted， animal－lovers paint harrowing pictures of the pursued animal suffering not only the physical distress of the chase but the mental anguish of anticipated death。
The usual answer to these criticisms is that animals do not suffer in the same way， or to the same extent， as we de。 Man was created with a delicate nervous system and has never lost his acute sensitiveness to pain; animals， on the other hand， had less sensitive systems to begin with and in the course of millions of years， have developed a capacity of ignoring injuries and disorders which human beings would find intolerable。 For example， a dog will continue to play with a ball even after a serious injury to his foot; he may be unable to run without limping， but he will go on trying long after a human child would have had to stop because of the pain。 We are told， moreover， that even when animals appear to us to be suffering acutely， this is not so; what seems to us to be agonized contortions caused by pain are in fact no more than muscular contractions over which they have no control。
