This whole physical existence is suffering without end. It is literally the core of any being. Buddhism has a core imperative to either lessen the suffering (by not inflicting more of it), or to eradicate it altogether by means of final death in nirvana (escape from samsara). However, as any novice of buddhism knows, dogs simultaneously both possess buddha-nature and are unaware of it. In that sense, is actually knowing that to be is to suffer better or worse? And as far as the fetish for anthropocentrism is concerned, it is a western religious thing deeply rooted in psychopatic (as opposed to empathic) abrahamic tradition, which proved to be a superior memeplex here. (yeah it touches a nerve, doesn't it)
