>that it is OK to enslave a horse but not a human, because humans have more capacity for autonomy, suffering, and so forth.

That's illogical. No, we enslave animals because we can. If animals were to coordinate and start a rebellion we would stop enslaving them and try to appease them through diplomatic means. Humans are known for their coordination and so monkeys with human intelligence and communication like humans would coordinate very well.

I propose my assumption instead of your own. Humans would exterminate the animals that started to rebel and even if it's an entire species.
