I hope this knowledge leads people to be more kind to animals. These discussions are pretty laughable as we enter a new period of genocide and global warfare. People are cannibalistic monsters and the idea that they would change their behavior based on human suffering (let alone animal suffering) is constantly proven wrong. So really I don't think the debate here is whether other animals feel pain, but whether people should continue existing as a species to observe them.
