Humans are separate from nature, mostly due to our intelligence. In nature animals are killed all the time in horrendous ways. The fact that this happens tells me that animals do not suffer in the same way that we understand suffering. Its like when you cut yourself and you only feel the pain once you actually see the injury. Animals do not have that capability due to their lower intelligence. As a result we do not need to give animals the same moral consideration as we give humans. They do deserve consideration and respect, but not to the same degree as humans.
