If you don’t have a way of quantifying suffering, perhaps all utilitarian calculus is bunk?

Unfortunately, I don't really understand your response.

You talked about one hundred times the suffering. What does that mean? To me, the way animals are held in mass production is completely unethical and there is no way to make it worse... So how do you make the animals suffer even more?
