“Many people have a romanticized view of wild animals; they think wild animals are like Spartan warriors who do not feel pain, or, at least, do not feel it to the extent that humans and domesticated animals do. But this is simply untrue. [T]hey endure it not because it’s easy for them but because they have no choice. [A]ll the reasons to believe domesticated animals are conscious also apply to many wild animals.”
