What is the morally relevant difference between cats and dogs, and animals raised on a farm?
Why does your "right to live your own life" take priority over an animal's right to not be forced into captivity, held in cruel conditions that make them sick from standing in their own feces constantly and destroy their bodies over time from extremely cramped conditions, be abused on a regular basis, malnourished, before being slaughtered by a low-wage worker (who is most likely a minor or immigrant, who will end up with ptsd from killing these animals every day), being denied the ability to live out their natural lifespan by many years?
