78- Are animals conscious? And does it matter?

A new thought piece was published last week by BBC Science correspondent Pallab Ghosh (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv223z15mpmo) discussing the latest in scientific research pointing to 'consciousness' in an increasing number of non-human species. So are animals conscious? And is that even an important question to be asking? Anthony, Julie & Carlos get philosophical with this one.
