non-human animals feel pain and don’t want to die.
we don’t know that any non-human animal understands personal mortality, so we need to clear up an ambiguity in your syntax there. the don’t even know if they know they colud die. if you don’t know you could want something, to say that you don’t want it is almost tautological. we can’t say teher is any evidence they want not to die, though.
It’s more than enough. You go there in person and try and kill one of those cows or chickens and watch them run away and then you tell me straight to my fucking face that they Don’t have a desire to live/ not die.

There is evidence. Watch them scream as they die in any documentary. Watch them try to run away as they get corralled into the death cage.

that’s not evidence of understanding personal mortality.
Yes it is.
it’s not enough evidence. we still need proof they understand personal mortality.

this, too, is not proof. do you have any animal cognition papers that show cows understand that they might die?
