As if they have the power of humans to infer and imagine from what is happening around them. To feel fear and apprehension. The truth is, they are ignorant of that. And ignorance is bliss.
Many people argue that if one is conscious and has interests, then one should have the inherent right for those interests not to be disregarded and be treated as property, in much the same way as humans have an inherent right not to be treated as property ie not be a slave)
Apprehension or ignorance is irrelevant to this argument.
Anyhow, that is an aside. If the humans also had no fear because death was instantaneous and in one's sleep, then by your logic it would be ok to kill a human, right? Ignorance is, as you say, bliss.
