· The lives of potential future animals raised for food
are more than just "nothing" in the sense that they will
exist if nothing prevents them, and possibly as Goo
suggests they also exist in some pre-conceived state.
Regardless of whether they do or not, whatever stops
their lives from happening is truly preventing animals
from having life they otherwise would have had.

Either farm animals "exist" in some kind of pre-conceived,
pre-born state, or they do not.

The rational person realizes:
1. He *cannot* know if the animals exist in
a 'pre-born' state.
2. Even if they do, he knows nothing of that state
