It’s not that emotion is important for consent, it’s that violation of consent can create trauma. If violation of consent is bad because it’s a negative experience and an animal is capable of experiencing trauma then a violation of its consent is as inherently negative of an experience as it would be for a person.
A door does not experience anything, it is a door.

you seem to be creating a link between emotion and consent, but you haven’t explicated any of it.
