Which animals do people debate whether or not they are sentient?

Asked by flo (13313points) December 23rd, 2016

1) There are the ones mentioned a lot as sentient, (which don’t seem to be debated about) but what do people debate about their non sentient-ness?

2)How do they know the ones they consider not sentient don’t suffer pain?
