I don't have a strong opinion on this matter. I believe animals should be treated humanely but without excessive costs.

We often attribute human characteristics to animals. However, humans have 86 billion neurons in their brains, while a chicken has only 200 million. Their thought processes are not like ours and are largely instinctual.
I've heard that dogs' brains are designed to remember what is good and bad, but they react primarily based on instinct and learned associations. Dogs have approximately 2.25 billion neurons, while cats have around 750 million.
Cows have about 3 billion neurons, and pigs have nearly the same as dogs.
This doesn't mean that animals can't suffer or shouldn't be treated humanely.
BTW, according to Google, ants have around 250,000 neurons, though I previously read that they have only 7,000. Their brains are so simple that they don't sleep. An ant cannot function outside of its group, as it depends on chemical signals from other ants to guide its behavior. If isolated, an ant will die. This is also true for other hive insects.
