PS - About vampires feeling pain. Yes they can definitely feel pain. We know this through Jane who caused a burning like intense pain...and through Kate who could generate an electric shock that was also quite painful. I would also venture to say...that if a shapeshifter got the upper hand in a fight with a vampire...that said shapeshifter would cause pain to the vampire. Both in the book and film version of ECLIPSE...Seth kept biting off parts of Riley...and Riley screamed bloody murder. When Seth drags Riley off into the forest...Bella can hear Riley's screams as he's torn apart by Seth. The shapeshifters are beings belonging to the supernatural world. Now...a natural animal of any kind would pose NO harm of any kind to a vampire. Nor would a natural animal cause pain to a vampire. In MIDNIGHT SUN there is a part where Emmett is fighting a huge grisly bear. The bear shreds Emmett's shirt to shreds...however, Emmett is unharmed...in fact he tells Edward that he almost felt the bear's claws. So it must not have hurt at all if he could hardly feel it.
