People must have renounced, it seems to me, all natural
intelligence to dare to advance that animals are but
animated machines…. It appears to me, besides, that
[such people] can never have observed with attention
the character of animals, not to have distinguished
among them the different voices of need, of suffering,
of joy, of pain, of love, of anger, and of all their
affections. It would be very strange that they should
express so well what they could not feel.
Voltaire, Traité sur la tolerance
