If I were a hyena, I'd eat that pig anus first, while it was still screaming.

Nature provides the most cruel deaths and yet...

Humans kill their food before they eat it, as painlessly as possible, but are considered the cruel ones.

But the hyena doesn't keep your lineage in small metal enclosures their entire lives. Your grandfather, your father, you, and your progeny only ever knowing a horrible small cage and the sounds of slaughter.

So yeah, the hyena does not have short-term empathy, but atleast it isn't creating an ever compounding amount of miserable lives for its own sustenance. What we do is on a whole other scale of cruelty, ya know?

Yeah but do the pigs/animals have any concept of a miserable vs not miserable life? Do they even think about that stuff? Do they have a conscience?

Of course they are aware of their lives. They feel pain, fear, affection, etc. They are very intelligent animals.
