Why? Maybe the enjoyment of something by a self reflective conscious being is more important than the suffering of non-self aware being. Not saying it is, but an argument needs to be presented. If only suffering is the only guide then everyone should be a vegan now.

So no animal experiments to see if [X] could save a human life? Is the quality of suffering equivalent between humans & other animals? I find the notion of using suffering as the sole dimension of ethical examination to be very questionable (surely it’s one, but in a matrix).

I support animal experimentation, bc I think the suffering/benefit tradeoffs make it ethically defensible in many cases. Eating chickens, pigs, & farmed fish comes nowhere close IMHO in terms of suffering/benefit ratio - but I'm open to evidence otherwise.
