If they've been facing it for years it may be a welcome release. I can't imagine being penned up for decades with no chance to be free.
I'm not suicidal but some days I feel like it will be nice to not be here any more, seeing the terrible things that people do to one another. I've also been in significant pain before where I did wish to die. So perhaps, they're ready to go, and the meal is a celebration.
But I'm with you, I agree that their brains are not like ours.
