You have to go back to the moron who has introduced 
this loathsome construction in the first place, a 
high-school dropout in Atlanta named David Harrison, 
better known as Fuckwit.  He believes that the mere 
fact of "getting to experience life" (his phrasing, 
hence the quotes) is a "benefit" to farm animals.  As a 
logically necessary consequence, and borne out in his 
further incoherent scribblings on the topic, he 
believes that "vegans" are trying to impose a loss on 
unconceived "future farm animals" by trying to get 
everyone to become vegetarian, thereby ensuring the 
extinction of farm animals raised for human consumption.

It's a dirty, juvenile, stupid clumsy trick he's been 
trying to play on "vegans" for about four and a half 
years now.
