Some scientific disciplines postulate that animals are inferior to humans ( infrahumans). These disciplines are defended with arguments like ; animals do not think ,animales dont have conscience, animals don´t have language, have no emotions, etc. While these ideas have some truth, is not exactly that way. Animals have some sort of conciense , if they weren´t haven´t, their lifes can´t have any good results, because conciense its necessary for act in this world. We're not talking about abstract reasoning or thinking, we are only talking about consciousness as being "awake" in the world and to plan actions on our environment. Animals have the ability to plan their actions.
With respect to language, although animals do not possess the symbolic and abstract language that human use, they have communication mechanism, which would be the ultimate goal of language.
Arguments like these are used by certain groups of people to harm other living beings and experiment with them, their products.
