    the intention of torture is to inflict pain or suffering, and for the subject to know why (usually punishment, to get information). the pain is the point and it is intentional.

    if the practices you’re describing caused no pain or suffering, we would still do them. the pain is incidental, not intentional.

      Yeah it seems my post got deleted for speaking the truth. Some can’t handle it as it seems.

      Semantics and philosophy are nice and fine but don’t make a difference for the animals suffering. In lack of a better definition let’s call it violence. And it isn’t incidental but systematic.
