You won’t get one. Where’s yours? You didnt bring one proving they dont. Since we both dont really know for sure, we should probably just assume they dont care about dieing, right?
we can’t prove a negative. but you are making the claim that requires that they do understand personal mortality, so it is on you to support that claim
I think you misread “mortality” as “morality”
Not wanting to die/wanting to stay alive is proof animals understand mortality. Its the same impulses that keep humans alive as well.
how do you know what they want?
Because they do what they want. You can see it.
so when they die, it’s because they want to die
Now you are being obtuse.
I’m asking for some peer-reviewed paper to support your claim

suspend judgement on the claim until there is more evidence.

two different things
How so? Its the same thing I just said it two ways.
in the 15th century, no one wanted an electric car. does that mean they wanted to stop technological progression?
An electric car is not an emotional state.
I’m explaining that “not wanting” something does not require that you even know of that things existence
