When I went in to school today, I saw one of my Ph.D. students had taped this to my office door:

I was tempted to do that to our cats two nights ago when they combined fast-moving body mass and set off the motion detector at 2am.
 
The ability to feel is a necessary (and sufficient) condition for having preferences (although probably not for having interests more broadly construed). So, if the baby couldn't feel, it wouldn't care either way about the fur, and we couldn't hold it responsible for fur-wearing...

At least that's what most animal liberation philosophers think anyways... that crap happens to be a specialty of mine. :) Too bad PETA oversteps the logic too often...
