I don’t think it’s fair to draw this comparison on either end as this concerns relationships that are extremely contextualized and subject to change (human to nonhuman animal and human to human.) What constitutes suffering is highly debatable, we’re not dealing with faulty RAM sticks that make the execution of operations unreliable.
The impossibility of creating clear and objective frameworks/rationality based decision-making has been a tool time and time again for repression. It starts with putting grandma out of what we or anyone who is not grandma considers to be her misery, then we go on to NICU children in dire or uncertain circumstances or individuals who can’t communicate or contribute to society, and so on.
