I don't understand what this means. I'm a stanch advocate of animal welfare and rights. I think factory farms are absurdly ludicrously immoral. I think that the vast majority of ways we currently raise our mammals and birds is absurdly immoral. Why would watching an animal rights advocacy film help.
I was simply objecting to your anthropomorphizing of the way our fellow mammals perceive the world. It's a ludicrous position to take in a serious conversation about ethics. Physical capacity to suffer is one thing, and it's not difficult to argue that mammals suffer similar to the way we do physically, but asking "how I would feel," as though their conscious experience with regards to knowledge of mortality would be similar to ours is speaking nonsense. Furthermore, pointing to an advocacy documentary film to assert a position that even our best academic researchers have little if any way of speaking to seems flippant.
