When the animal in question is an insect? Can someone think of one?

I think only vertebrates are considered when it comes to research and testing standards for cruelty. I suppose you could consider pulling the wings off of flies or tying strings to june bugs to be cruel, but I don't think anyone recognizes it as such in any official capacity.

Yeah. I was thinking something like melting the faces of cicadas to make them scream would seem pretty bad. Anyways thanks for the legitimate answer.

No, because that's pretty fucked up in my opinion. I would never participate or suggest something like any of this.

Can you think of any cases where the law probably should protect invertibrates? Other than cases of preservation, of course.

Aha! The UK has apparently accepted the octopus into the "smart enough to suffer" club!
Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986
The 1986 Act defines regulated procedures as animal experiments that could potentially cause "pain, suffering, distress or lasting harm", to protected animals, which encompass all living vertebrates other than humans, under the responsibility of humans. A 1993 amendment added a single invertebrate species, Octopus vulgaris, as a protected animal.

Insects lack nocireceptors so they don't feel pain. They also have hardly any nervous system so they cannot suffer period. They're almost bacteria.

I was asking from a legal standpoint (i.e. if a legal case had ever been made). Thanks for continuing proof of your autism and making my thread this much more shitty.

Although PETA got enraged when Obama swatted a fly on national TV, you can do whatever you want to bugs for the reasons I gave before.
