“necessary”

It's not clear what you're trying to communicate here. Yes, it draws a scary picture about the suffering of the "Animal 15". However it doesn't mean it wasn't "necessary".

please provide the definition that is being used, and preferably how one gets to participate in deciding.

Why do you put the burden of proof on me? You countered a usage of a word with a quote and no explanation. I took a wild guess on what you could possibly mean, and argue how that would be a non sequitur. If you make an actual argument I might agree, but it's not clear what your argument even is.

> It doesn’t mean it wasn’t “necessary.”

your guess seems anything but wild.

You are forcing me to guess. Even after I wrote it's not clear what you tried to communicate, you didn't care to elaborate, instead you're trying to force me to provide definitions. That's a ridiculous way to argue.

the point was the word.

the interpretation is the conversation.

the argument is your construction. end it whenever you wish.
