Ooh! I love the point about it being morally heavier to kill and eat a happy animal than a sad one.

I tend to think even relatively sad lives are not absolutely negative - very nearly any life is better than none, and a good life better than a bad one, but it's going to give some of my fuzzy-vegetarian friends a good question to ponder.
