Why are you so sure animals don't have consciousness? Primitive man worshiped the higher animals as his equals and in many ways his superiors. Animals have a certain innate understanding of existence that most people don't appreciate. You are correct in asserting that they aren't self aware, but I'm not sure this is grounds for inferiority. Isn't the bulk of human 'awareness' really delusional? We foolishly believe that the world is centered around us, and greatly overestimate our individual worth.
And no infinitethoughts, you aren't getting rid of me that easily.
