Technically true, but in the opposite way to what you're thinking. All those capable of suffering are by definition sentient, but sentience doesn't necessitate suffering.
No it isn't, unless you subscribe to a worldview in which sentience could exist everywhere all at once instead of under special circumstances, which would demand you grant ethical consideration to every rock on the ground in case it's somehow sentient.
Show drag a scientific paper demonstrating that ants or animals of similar intelligence can't suffer. You're claiming the problem is solved, show the literature.
Did you just refer to yourself in the third person again? Why?
No, drag didn't refer to dragself in the third person.
