Are you saying a newborn animal can think or feel anything? If so, please enlighten me.[/b]
I already explained the nervous system is developed prior to birth--it absolutely has to be. You apparently didn't read my post...regardless, they feel. If you don't believe me, take a couple University-level biology courses.

My dad killed them right after they were born. I was 7 or 8. Animals have brains but when they're newborn they're deaf, blind and dumb. They feel only the instinct to feed really.
Again, I've already touched on this. You're quite wrong about being unable to feel. Natural selection would never have favoured that (they'd have little chance of survival). Some perceptual abilites are most certainly functional at birth, including touch.
