“Ants are not subjected to feeling the same pain humans do. They can recognize damage and respond to it, but they don’t genuinely feel pain the same way people do”
Couldn’t you apply that logic to literally all animals including humans? Pain is just a sensation to make us respond to damage, the suffering part is entierly subjective and no one can be sure any of the other humans even are capable of it, we just assume its the case based on personal experience and empathy.
Pain and pleasure are the greatest survival teachers, I’d expect them to be the basest feelings a living thing can have.
Saying some creatures don’t feel pain just because their physiology is different is like how we were taught that animals couldn’t think back in the 20th century.
Hmm, would this work with any clear material so you could see the ants as they suffer? I mean, for uhhh… science?
you can never see them “suffer”

Nature is very cruel, but not so evil to evolve suffering in animals who don’t have the capacity to learn from it.

You’d pick up a lot of sand… Normally you’d use a metal like aluminum. You can sandblast that clean.
But clear means epoxy. That stuff doesn’t hold up very well under sandblasting. It can be done, but expect mistakes.
“Normally”!? I thought it was a one-time thing for that famous youtube video.
