That's exactly the point the article makes - we care about dogs and cats, so we believe they "suffer". We don't care about pigs, so we say they don't mind being factory farmed.

I don't see what that has to do with consciousness. Suffering is one thing, consciousness is another.
By definition you can only suffer if you are consciousness.
