That's some scary stuff and I've seen animals in a different light this year, I can tell they have souls. I've made ALOT of mistakes in my life and I don't want to be an animal.
I'm mostly clueless about Buddhism, but animals don't have some nightmare existence and certainly don't think they're undergoing a punishment by existing as animals. These are very human-centric viewpoints. They're just fine being animals.

I'm still unsure just what reincarnation means in Buddhism but I'm aware there's no soul so presumably if you were an animal you wouldn't know anything about possibly having been human (in whatever way) and since you're an animal you wouldn't and couldn't think about it the way a human would.
