The Importance of Comparisons in Animal Welfare
Derek Parfett: We have a sense many of these other animals are sentient that's pretty much certain they feel pain but we don't know how to compare them to us. Derek Parfett doesn't want just become a radical agnostic if all of our judgments rely on this utility thing which to me is somewhat mysterious. So I think there are some cases and again I would instance factory farming where we can be very confident that what we're doing is causing more pain and suffering than it's doing good to us.
