The reason why people think of animals as machines without feelings is because it makes it easier for them to exploit them: fur, leather, meat, dairy, eggs, etc.. It would be inconvenient for them to think they were like us and then eat and wear them, so they create this Cartesian myth that they have no feelings. If they have no feelings, then what drives them to nourishment when hungry or warmth when cold? Some terminator-like heads-up display or sheer intellect? They are just like us, but without discursive, deductive thought.
