Since I have never elevated animals to be equal to humans in my thinking, I do feel bad for them.
they are better than most humans because they are innocent
You haven’t seen the videos I have I bet. They deliberately torture dogs for hours before killing them...often boiling them alive. They believe the torture makes the meat taste better. Blowtorches and leg amputations while they are hung but still very much alive. I have zero compassion for any human being who can do these things. In some of the videos they laugh as the dogs cry out in pain.
