This reminds me of an encounter my friend's brother had with their uncle.
The kid was pulling wings off of a fly and the uncle told him to stop. The kid responded with this intellectual argument about how flies don't feel pain the way we do and how it isn't hurting the fly.

The Uncle said, "I'm not worried about what it is doing to the fly, I'm worried about what it is doing to you."
