Animals are not conscious, they are instinctly aware.
That's an antiquated Cartesian view. Modern science disagrees with you.
I've pointed this out multiple times in this thread, which you have promptly ignored. Perhaps a video would help:
In September of 2012, a panel of leading Neuroscientists convened in Cambridge to announce scientific consensus that non-human animals are indeed conscious:
The Psychology Today article outlining the consensus:

I expect this will also be ignored as one of many examples where you are shown concrete evidence an assertion you've made is mistaken.
