I apologize for the confusion. Let me attempt to summarize your position:
It is possible for subjectively bad things to happen to animals
Despite this fact, it is not possible for objectively bad things to happen to animals
Is that correct? If so, could you explain what “subjective” and “objective” mean here—usually, “objective” just means something like “the sum of subjective”, in which case #2 trivially follows from #1, which was the source of my confusion.

I don’t know what “subjective” and “objective” mean here, because I am not the one using that wording.
What do you mean by “subjectively bad things”?
