"They have to suffer or else they would be extinct" is a very easy argument to make about other beings when you're not the one doing the suffering. Personally, I would rather not exist than have a few short years of abysmal suffering and no chance to have a meaningful life.

I never said they would have to suffer, I'm saying without a purpose that society finds useful, the majority of society will stop caring about them.
