    Indeed. Though IMO eating an Ortolan is still slightly less morally bankrupt that eating a steak - the former was caught in the wild, the latter is the product of systematic large-scale exploitation, torture and slaughter.

    The main difference beyond that is the aesthetic and how normalized the latter is.

      I'm conflicted here, the beef industry is horrific, but Ortolans are also tortured to death, even if they do live free before capture.

        Yeah, it's probably stupid to try and rank suffering like that, my bad. Both are atrocious, let's leave it at that.
