Temple Grandin and Mark Deesing's paper, "Distress in Animals: Is it
Fear, Pain or Physical Stress?", reviews the most current understanding
of two of the most basic types of suffering - fear and pain - only to
arrive at an unexpected conclusion: in most vertebrates, fear causes
greater suffering than pain.
Just think about that, think about all the times we see pets that are not physically hurt but are scared or fearful!
Fearful of being alone!
Fearful of being punished!
Fearful of being isolated!
Fearful of loosing safety or security!
Fearful of meeting a stranger!
Fearful of meeting or encountering a strange dog!
Fearful of loud noises or bright flashes
The list goes on .....
