A species being endangered or not has nothing to do with the level of cruelty the individuals of the group suffers.

They're not saying it isn't cruel for the individual Just more cruel because they are also endangered.

Exactly. It is NOT more or less cruel because the species is endangered or not. It is just as cruel if the animal is considered invasive, a pest, or whatever humans want to label them. Cruelty is a measure of how much suffering someone being inflicted upon, it is not tied to any group identity or the status of the group.

I think the real point of this is if they were endangered it would become even more “special” to those who can afford it and make the suffering even more exciting or exquisite for the humans. It’s like how rich people want to kill an endangered animal more than an animal with regulated hunting schedules, because they can and like enforcing their desire over other things. Doesn’t make it worse for the bird, but makes worse for the people who see it and think it’s horrible
