Let me heat that up for you... 
Yes, animals are sentient.

Something else that determines wether an animal is 'curb stomping' or not is its actions. If a dog ran at me and bit my leg, I would kick it with my other. If I see an ant trail in my backyard on a nice sunny day I don't run in my room and grab a magnifying glass... although it is fun sometimes.

Sure, appearences and emotion are some factors that a judge an animal by, but you can easily anthropomorphise any creature if you really wanted to, so that doesn't entirely count.

Also, I believe altruistic behaviour can exist, I've just yet to have seen it.
