The animals we create are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection as our own children. Their experiences are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence.

You already know these animals suffer hell. Billions of individuals each year. You know it, but you refuse to emotionally process it. You want to be able to act as if you did not know it, or as if it didn't matter. So, you are emotionally dishonest with yourself. You practice your deception constantly. You've put in your ten thousand hours. What a terrible skill to develop. How else do you lie to yourself?

You're going to have to find a different line of reasoning. There's enough people out there that don't care enough about other humans that might be slightly different than themselves. You're never going to convince them that a bunch of chickens deserve empathy when they don't even have empathy for their fellow (hu)man.

I would gladly kill and torture 100billion chickens to even slightly improve the life of a human. I find it morally reprehensible to do otherwise. I am well aware of what happens at egg farms and male chick grinder specifically.
