>Now obviously animals cannot think of or cannot communicate with us that they do not want to be eaten the same way we could with another species That's not obvious. The will to live is strong everywhere, and that cows don't speak "human" isn't to say they don't have a will to live (not be eaten). Nor that we can't speak "alien" any sign that we don't have a will to live (not be eaten).
