You could argue that animals do not feel pain and their actions are just an automated response but I have seen no evidence for that and I'm not sure you could prove that anyway. Would that be the same for a mouse as it is for an ape?

If you agree that humans should be spared physical pain when possible and that humans are not intrinsically different from other animals then I do not see why the same rule should not be applied to animals.
