i'm saying if we regularly do worse to creatures that we know are just as conscious as us...then it's obvious nobody would stop for a second to consider non-human/artificial life

I disagree. You are assuming that everyone who harms someone else does not care whether they are conscious or not, but there are certainly people who reconsider their actions when given the opportunity to reflect about their victim's life. It's called empathy.
