Bees feel like an easy case for thinking RP might be wildly wrong in a way that doesn’t generalise to all animal interventions, since bees might not be conscious at all, whereas it’s much less likely that pigs or even chickens aren’t. (I’m actually a bit more sympathetic to pigs not being conscious than most people are, but I still think its >50% likely that they are conscious enough to count as moral patients.)
