And dont give me your fucking mayo ass "b-but dogs are b-best friend", cattle have done far more for the human race in terms of food, milk, leather and work. We are monsters. Accept it and embrace it if you love meat, but don't give me that fucking Western chauvinist moral superiority bullshit.

    I don't, and I'd wager nobody does, care about how smart cows are. That's a very 'shouting "he has fingernails!" at a woman walking into an abortion clinic' line of logic.

      I do, and I'd wager that in fact many people care. There is a huge difference to me morally between eating a cow and eating, say, insects.

          All life is precious and worth preserving to me, but in my view at least the more sentient the animal, the worse it is morally to kill them.

            so if a toddler & an adult are in a burning house you'd save the adult first? After all a child is less sentient

              This is starting to turn into a pretty absurd conversation but: obviously, I'm talking about species here. A toddler will become more sentient as he/she grows up.
