not quite but very close. the suffering is not cruelty because it is inherent, and suffering alone does not change the morality.

To willingly inflict unnecessary suffering on sentient beings is cruelty. This is a semantic argument that ignores reality

You are literally arguing the definition of the word “cruelty” rather than dealing with the substance. I appreciate the engagement, but this is where I’ll stop. I hope you consider the conflicts in your worldview and work toward improving the world for yourself and the beings that inhabit it.
