get out of here, you dirty hippie
I don't think so
No. End of thread. Saged.
Yes, for species with demonstrable intelligence at least on par with the dumbest human beings

No.
Basic animal welfare in western countries is fine for the average animal. Don't torture it, give food and water and shelter from elements.
Animals with a higher brain function however are a different story
