It could always be assumed that zombies share an the same base fear of fire that every animal does.

I think theyre just creatures of purely basic instinct. Theyre only drive is hunger since they can't reproduce. So their drive for food probably over-rides the pain.

zombies have fear? Where would that come from? Fear, I believe, connotes experience.

Also if hunger overides pain then when they are feeding, they should feel it because their hunger has been satiated.

Gathering together the ideas, it would a seem that zombies do feel sensations. They will react to touch but if thats so, how about all the rotting injuries they have?

I don't think that they feel pain. They probably are just looking out for themselves, I mean, not destroy their own body.

Kinda like video games. You don't feel it, but you want to protect yourself.

Zombies have, literally, no physical sensations. All nerve receptors remain dead
after reanimation. The inability to recognize and avoid pain is what make the walking dead so formidable. Wounds will not be noticed and, therefor, will deter
an attack. Even if a zombie's body is severely damaged, it will continue to attack
until nothing remains.

Zombies are not afraid of fire.

When the zombie re-animates the only thing "alive" about it are its eyes, nose, ears, and muscles. Zombies feel no pain since like the guy above me said, "All nerve receptors remain dead after reanimation.".

Alright, I know this has little to do with pain. Dont ever try to domesticate a zombie, ive heard so many people saying how they'er going to make a pet zombie
and have it do the killing for them. Anyone deranged enough to try, its going to end with disaster. The zombie brain has proven, so far, to be tamper-proof. Behavioral modifications therapy and other such attempts to train the living dead like some pack animal have met similary with failure. The machine cannot be rewired. It will exist as is, or it will not exist att all.
