So, I'm not a vegetarian, vegan or animal rights activist. Meat and other animal products are pretty damn tasty.
What I'm questioning is what you think animals might be concerned about if they had high enough brain function to realize that something wasn't quite right in their world or if they were able to communicate amongst thousands of millions of their own kind.
What would be their conspiracy theories(for a specific animal) and what would be the lies humans told them to keep them in line?
How would you pacify the animals that tend to get unruly?
Finally, what would make any of these options different from humans? Please reply to the suggestions of pacification.

Well the new genetic modification they're doing with pigs to make them grow human organs makes me question if they are going to start developing higher brain functions.

Depends if all these can talk amongst themselves. Say all chickens in at a giant chicken farm gain cognitive abilities to realise something is wrong and they predict their fate.
Don't you think there would be massive panic and infighting? Numerous factions form up, based on a few leaders.
Some leaders want to take to revolution, others plead with the humans.
The revolutioneers start to disagree with each other, and hack each other apart. Humans listen to the pleading chickens, and tricks them because they got nothing but their bodies to bargain with.
Pandemonium regardless for the animals, and with any farm animal, because they do not have written word or methods of spreading ideas very far anyway.

Well I'm saying they get food, water and medical treatment, but they might wonder why someone is so kind to them and the sows might wonder why their young are always taken from them.

Yes, assuming they could communicate they would still be helpless to save themselves and would probably destroy each other to some extent, but what about other types of animals that could start some sort of resistance? Would they, or would they be subdued by some sort of offer from humans?

What animals could start some sort of resistance?
Humans have a huge advantage of having thumbs and hands, standing upright utilising tools that augment our capabilities tenfold.
I think it stands that even if these could reason, something akin to Animal Farm might happen should various species be able to talk to each other. They would all eventually destroy themselves.

Dear God, if they do it to cows they could decide to take revenge and devour us all!

I mean Iike other primates that could cause trouble. I don't mean that they would rise up planet of the apes style.
I'm trying to figure out where there are differences in what an oppressed animal is capable of vs what oppressed humans are capable of.
How much of a divide is there?

>How much of a divide is there?
A lot. Oppression only works when it's complete, not a finger is given nor reached out.
When the oppressed are handed a finger, they'll grab the arm. If there is nothing for them to reach for, nothing will happen.
