Animals are not our equals. We eat them, experiment on them... society has put them in a lower class than us. The question, "How would you feel if...?" Is irrelevant, because we will most likely not have to see through their eyes because animals do not have the mental capapbilities to overthrow us. When and if they do, they deserve to treat us like animals, so to speak. But we are not equal. We are the superior race- the predator. That is like saying a lion is equal to a gisele, or a frog to a fly... we are higher on the food chain, therefore, even in the animal's eyes, we are not equal.
Even though they should be treated with respect and the such because they are living things, it would be crazy talk to say that we are equal.
