Are animals evidenced as having human characteristics?

Assuming consciousness is needed to perceive pain, is there any evidence that agriculturally raised animals can feel pain.

Or, to ask it another way:
Do you think chickens have consciousnesses?

Given that the evidence for this is about as compelling to many people as that for plants... the metaphor seems apt.

It isn't as compelling at all. Animals (to varying degrees) have similar neurology to humans and are shown to be aware of, respond to, predict, and avoid pain.
