Remember the 1800s when animal behaviorists thought that the sound a dog makes when you kick it was just a reflex and if it whimpered or cringed those were just reflexes too, not an indication of suffering or fear? And that it was data that gradually made them change their minds because at some point it's just obstinate whinging to claim that behavior in creatures with similar brains and brain activities to ours doesn't imply shared experiences?
The only evidence available to reach the conclusion that higher animals experience similar sensations and emotions to humans; differing mostly in degree rather than kind, is all of it. It's not proof (science doesn't do proof), but it's rational to accept the evidence and irrational to deny it.
