       It's a necessary part of evaluating whether or not it's cruel   
   TO THE ANIMALS for humans to raise them for food. Misnomer   
   addicts are opposed to that being considered because many   
   livestock animals appear to have decent lives of positive value,   
   and considering that aspect of the situation works against the   
   objective to eliminate them. Considering the animals' lives   
   suggests that decent AW could be ethically equivalent or superior   
   to the misnomer, and you people are maniacally opposed to seeing   
   that taken into consideration.
