I’d rather not eat anything sapient. Crabs, chicken, and beef? Fine, but I’m not eating anything smarter than a 5-year-old human. No octopi or corvids for me.
So you’re okay with eating toddlers, gotcha 👍
Sure, if they never grew up. But they do, so I won’t.
Did you mean sentient? :)
No, I meant sapient. Sentient just means “reacts to outside stimuli.” Plants are sentient. Its a really useless word.
Oh wow. Didnt know about that!
How do you judge that? There are very many species of animals and there is variation within each species.
Personally I just have a list of animals that I have enough respect for to never consider eating them. If I’m convinced enough, I’ll add new animals to the list.
- dog/wolf 🐺
- hourse 🐴
- whale/dolphin 🐋
- hominidae 🦍 It’s not very hard because I wasn’t planning on eating any of these guys in the first place, but I can see myself giving up beef as my respect for cows grows.
We do, its just you you don’t.
Too fast, I only get halfway through a bite before they swim away.
The other white meat
Historical. Dolphins have the reputation of being cute and intelligent.
Maybe pigs are intelligent but we already know what bacon tastes like.
I’ve also seen too many whaling videos showing all that blubber. Unless we’re resorting to whale oil again, that isn’t attractive
Edit: I found this https://iere.org/why-shouldnt-we-eat-dolphins/
Should we??
Why don’t we eat humans?
Cause we are humans
Tasty, tasty humans.
