If you don't want to be beaten with your own analogy, find a better metaphor.
Some are treated in a similar way. What I didn't say was that the two things are morally equivalent, necessarily. If you look at the context of the comparison, it was intending to show that it's stupid to rule certain groups out of moral consideration without any reason, not that slavery and battery farms are morally analogous.
