All animals feel physical pain.
Some of them feel emotional pain too. Some animals have even been known to have trauma and PTSD symptoms long after they've been out of that situation.

@Aidolovemostofyourthoughts: Do oysters feel pain? What about coral?

@Ynotisay: are they animals? 🤔

@dark548: Sure.

Most.
My understanding is that the verdict is mixed on shellfish and insects. It doesn't appear mussels, clams and the like feel pain.
Definitely. I feel for them. Poor babies.

Emotional or physical?

@DYRPM: both
Physical yes but I'm not sure about emotional. They might though.

Of course they do. I'll never understand why some people think that they don't.
@FeetAreFantastic: True
