Comment on [CW: Animal Cruelty] 370 billion crickets are farmed for food every year. Scientists have discovered they may feel pain

We know common farm animals feel pain and that doesnt stop us from industrial farming pigs, cows, chickens, and all other sorts of animals. Why crickets? I’ve said this the last time this was posted, pain is probably as close as you can get to a universal emotion. We dont know enough, probably never will, but I’d bet on the “DON’T FUCKEN DO THAT YOU’LL DIE” signal being pretty far back in the evolutionary tree.
