Nope. I said sapient, and I mean sapient. The animals we typically raise for food - cows, pigs, sheep, chickens - are conscious, intelligent beings capable of reasoning and decision making.

You are correct that all sentient life has moral value and deserves respect, but let's not downgrade the sapience of our livestock species and the moral horror of their treatment.
