No, it's obvious that *you're* the one lying, Goo:

The animals that will be raised for us to eat
are more than just "nothing", because they
*will* be born unless something stops their
lives from happening. Since that is the case,
if something stops their lives from happening,
whatever it is that stops it is truly "denying"
them of the life they otherwise would have had.

You claimed you *couldn't* believe the unconceived animals would
experience a loss, ****wit, because you considered them to be "nothing".
But it's a lie, ****wit - you do *NOT* consider them to be "nothing."
