    There’s no practical downside?

    inconvenience, social ostracization, and aesthetic deprivation are actual downsides. further you don’t actually know what is good for them: you’re not their doctor. finally, it would be better for the animals if it shrunk industry. the industry grows every year, so it is not any better for the animals.
