I think suffering is qualitatively different when it's accompanied by some combination I don't fully understand of intelligence, self awareness, preferences, etc. So yes, humans are not the only animals that can suffer, but they're the only animals whose suffering is morally relevant.
There's missing something at the end, like "... is morally relevant", right?
Fixed; thanks!
