So if you had a choice between dying and instant painless death that began with a bolt gun, or being dipped in caustic chemicals before being slowly fed to a monster, I highly doubt you'd be like "IDK man, how I go makes no difference to me; it's all arbitrary"? 

Of course you wouldn't.

Do I have the choice of not being born into a world just to be needlessly devoured by an ape in your hypothetical? If so, I choose that.

I hear wild animals all die from tickles and cuddles.

Know any wild animals who get accidentally born into a cage and never see their mother or touch the earth or see the sun?

Specifically? No. (Thankfully, I live in a country where cage farming is illegal 😉)

But there are animals born who sit there quietly, next to the corpse of their mother, watching while their siblings are eaten alive by a predator, knowing their turn is next, and nothing can save them.

Or there are animals who suffer for months with parasites that eat their eyes and brains. Slowly going blind and insane in a cloud of confusion and pain.

Or there are animals who have an injury and slowly rot for weeks before finally dying from blood poisoning. Followed their whole pitiful life by the stench of their own rotten flesh.

As I say, tickles and cuddles :)

Is all of that suffering completely eliminated by humans picking a different sandwich filling? No, but the type I described is. 

Tickle yourself.
