It’s very convenient to think animals aren’t conscious. Think about the ramifications: eating meat is eating a being, not just food; treating animals the way we do becomes unethical; we’re not at the top anymore; etc etc. Reassessing all these values and behaviors is hard, and we’d rather not, ergo animals aren’t conscious and are inferior to us.
