This has taken me longer to write a reply than I would have liked, especially given the amount of time I've spent reading it, contemplating it in comparison to previous opinions, and more outside reading(s). Can't quite put into words other than "thank you" for taking the time and patience to spell out and stick to what you meant. So from what I'm gathering, the notion of looking at the industry in terms of a "Holocaust," (in your words genocide) is flawed in terms of the intent of the industry: not to wipe out or exterminate whereas the former hinges on. Thus, looking at systematic slaughter of such an industry in that light would be close-minded and looking at only a snapshot of the process, applying a vastly different connotation. More or less along those lines? Pardon if that seems repetitive/parroting, it's more for my digestion, if anything.

The framing of the pig argument makes sense. I understand my position was the intrinsic value of life in such a sense would be equal. Again. Can't say much based on your response.

Honestly, I can't help but be amazed at the logical and compassionate approach you took throughout the discussion. I appreciate the time you put into it, I'm like to circle around to this later. And to do some more readings of my own... Thank you.
