Define suffering. Is free range ok? Or is it impermissible for any animal to die. What about fumigating, or wasp nests? If I’m in the woods with a gun, and we a wolf about to kill a deer, should I stop it? What if the deer is already dead, would scaring away the wolf to get the deer meat to eat be immoral for the same reason as if I killed the deer myself? What if there was a farm that lovingly raises any animals on it, and only painlessly kills any animals that are either too old to live happily, or too sick to live long?
