Then you are back to a goose having a soul then. If you are still claiming that an inner perceiver is required to make sense and meaning out of all the raw sensory input data then this inner perceiver must exist in all animals that have conscious perception. You're running around in circles.
It would be quite feasible to use computer logic to program all the typical goose responses in a man made robotic goose just using data generated from the basic senses. There is no need for conscious perception, just programmed reactions.
OK, but you don't believe that other animals in reality are organic robots with no inner feelings do you, so why bring it up ?
If you want this to be taken seriously then take my challenge : go find a dog in the street tonight and give it a damn good kicking. If you truly believe your line of reasoning then this won't be a problem for you as you see non human creatures as pieces of organic machinery with no actual inner experience, no pain, no hunger, no vision or hearing. In fact in this line of thinking, you must consider the entirety of life on this planet bar humans to be a fraud, some piece of divine trickery on an epic scale designed to fool humans into thinking that there were other creatures around who had similar experience.
Or your alternative is to drop pretending to lines of reasoning that you don't really believe and engage properly with ideas instead of dancing round them like a handbags on the dancefloor.
