Have you ever watched the reaction of a dog after someone hits it? Or the reaction of a mouse after getting trapped--but not killed--in one of those spring-operated traps designed to snap its neck or spine? They whimper and squirm. They feel discomfort.
When I was about 10, my dog was hit by a truck, but it did not die immediately. Two of its legs with dislocated, and its lung was punctured by a broken rib. It made several uncomfortable shrieks and cries among other sounds and motions that indicated it was in pain.
Animals feel something, and it sure as hell isn't comfortable. This goes for anything with nerve endings.

"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
