    Absolutely. I used the word “experience” and not “feel” intentionally here. People who raise and kill animals for a living try to think of animals like meat robots, they want to believe pain is just something animals sense rather than a subjective experience.

    Sometimes, they successfully fool themselves. Other times they develop all sorts of disorders. Sometimes they kill themselves.
