I guess my question is, what deeper purpose does granting rights to animals serve?

Pain is bad. We should not inflict unnecessary pain on anything that can feel pain because that means something that can feel pain felt pain and that's bad, unethical, immoral, whatever fucking descriptor you want. You can make it a spectrum if you want and throw in nuance, but I don't understand how the basic concept of empathy is that hard to get across

like maybe you don't experience empathy but you have to understand by now other people do, right? the only other conclusion I can draw is you're a religious extremist that thinks only humans have souls and that's the absolute dividing line between men and beasts
