The "it" you're referring to is to stop being considerate of
livestock.

Can you give a good reason to prefer that livestock exist over mice
except
that they are more useful?

I would prefer mice in the house than livestock,
but I kill mice when they come in even so.

Why do you prefer livestock over mice "experiencing life"?

So far I'm in favor of livestock and mice, over mice
but no livestock. I believe livestock are capable of
getting more out of life than mice are, because I feel
that they have more mental ability to do so.

They're bigger, but that's not a good reason,
that just means there will be fewer of them, fewer animal to "experience
life".

Can you in any way appreciate the fact that mice
experience life?

If not, then why do you keep bringing it up?

If so, then try explaining why you think that same
consideration should not be applied to all animals.

I don't hear you complaining that people don't appreciate mice,

Who doesn't?

You don't complain that people don't appreciate mice, yet you seem to think
that's it's wrong to not appreciate livestock.

it's always
livestock. What's the big thing you have with livestock?

People who can't appreciate livestock pretend to
appreciate mice, which is a stupefying limitation of
the mind.

People who appreciate mice or livestock, normally are appreciating live
ones, not wanting there to be more of them so that can "experience life",
that's the nonsense aspect with your position.

You need to explain why we should not consider the lives
of animals. Hey I know what...try doing it NOW:

Sure, they're
tasty, but do they appreciate life more than mice?

I believe even very young chickens do. That is
from personal experience around both.

So just being destined to be eaten makes an animal appreciate life,

Of course that's not it.

or what is it?

Try again.
