Do you know what sentient actually means? What evidence do you have that animals are sentient other than your ability to anthropomorphize inanimate objects?
Animals are inanimate now.
Bizarre.
Strange, I don't recall saying that. What I did was equate a posters claim that animals are sentient with his habit of anthropomorphizing inanimate objects. I am not surprised the subtleties of that escaped your mental capacity.
Nor am I surprised, given your level of reading comprehension, that you don't see your own words sitting all of half an inch away.
Sheeesh.
