	Can anyone say whether animals or indeed humans can hear pain in other creatures?

	Humans absorb only a small percentage of information audibly. The greatest part of the information one uses comes in visually. The sum of all inputs + intelligence + prior experience = perception. One can usually "tell" whether an animal is in pain without necessarily "hearing" it. Interesting question. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856
