I am well aware.
However they DO feel pain, especially the likes of pigs, sheep, chicken, cows, etc. your typical farm animals. They ARE unhappy because they ARE in pain because they DO have nervous systems. Nobody can tell me that animals, or moreso mammals, can not be unhappy, all you have to do is own a dog to know they do feel emotions. I don't have a problem with earing animals due to your point that they would eat me, and also because aee bodies are built to eat meat, but a pig would not make me spend my entire life miserable, and even if it would I believe we as humans, in our intellectual superiority, should hold ourselves to higher standards. Regardless though, the main reason I say this is because if I have a choice to let something be happy or let something be miserable I will always choose the former, and I see no reason other than laziness and spite to choose the latter tbh.
