Self-study
Jeff: Proposed regulations concerning the use of animals in scientific experimentation would prohibit experimentation on those species that humans empathize with: dogs and horses, for example. ███ █████████ ████████████ ████████ ██ ███████ █████ ████ ████ ███ ███ ███████ ██ ███████ █████ ████ ██ ████ ███ ██████ ████ ██████ ████ ████████ ██████ ██ ████████ ██ ███ ███████████████ ██ ███ ████████

Summarize Argument
Jeff argues that regulations on animal experimentation should ban experimentation on all mammals. This is because all mammals are capable of feeling pain.
Notable Assumptions
Jeff assumes that being able to feel pain is a sufficient reason to disqualify an animal from being experimented on. It's not clear why this is true, since not all experiments necessarily cause pain. This also suggests that Jeff doesn't think dogs and horses are protected from experimentation for some other valid reason that might apply only to those species, and not to all mammals. We already know, for example, that Jeff thinks whether or not an animal objectively feels pain is a more important consideration than whether or not humans empathize with that animal.
