You think any animal would choose this “safety” for beeing killed after a max of 1/10 of their lifespan?

i have yet to find proof that nonhuman animals understand personal mortality, so they wouldn't even be able to understand the choice you are presenting.

There is tons of evidence if you would not refuse to look. Especially social animals (for example pigs and cows) would outcast individuals out of their herd. They are also quite intelligent. But hey it is comfortable to pretend we got some high ground while we all know that animals have feelings and that what we do is cruel beyond imagination. And all that to just satisfy some urge for a special taste and convenience. I wish people would at least not pretend its ok.

But pretending it's ok is the only reason it perpetuates

Nah, i know some irl who admit its shit but are to weak to change anything about their behaviour. I agree though that those pll probably will come around eventually.

get me a peer reviewed article that says they understand personal mortality. I'll read it start to finish
