Do they eventually die horribly of starvation?

actually they're happy when they're starving but when they're dying they are sad. :laugh: and they keep on dying until you feed them. mine were dying for years.

I could never own one of those things. Digital animal cruelty somehow gets me worse than the real thing.  ???

Not sure. I seem to consider computers as potentially alive as people. If they're giving off the same signals of sentience, I don't use how the systems operate to produce the signals as criteria of whether it's a "real person" or not.

A digital pet is fucked over worse than an IRL pet if it's being neglected, because it doesn't have the communication means to bark or yowl in a way that passers-by might hear. It's completely isolated, in a completely rigid system.

hmmm...  is sentience the same as a nervous system, though?

No, and it's true that I can override my gut reaction with logic - I'm well aware that a neopet is not sentient, though I still wouldn't take any pleasure out of owning one. I thought you were looking for the reasons for the gut reaction.
