That's probably about how a large predator assesses the responses of a human as it rips out the first big bite. "I bite food, it makes a loud noise, so what?" Most humans, excepting you apparently, are better able to comprehend what another sentient creature is feeling. Animals, like very young humans, don't appear to be able to "put themselves in another's shoes", and consider what it must feel like to be that other creature in the given circumstances. But, also like very young humans, this does not mean they aren't feeling anything themselves. A 2 year old human which hits or bites its newborn sibling out of instinctive jealousy, doesn't grasp that it is causing the little creature pain, but torture the same 2 year old and s/he he will definitely experience agony.
The punishment for running over Tabby or Fido is greater than drowning a baby in a toilet.
Some people never develope empathy....I think it's from inbreeding.
I "put myself in the shoes" of humans, not animals.
