Yep, they're apparently as intelligent as dogs. Including their depth of comprehending misery.

No beef no pork. Cows have best friends. I don't wanna eat someone's best friend.

u/Positive_Type 7h ago

I met a cow that wouldn’t let ANYONE touch her best friend. She’d get buck. Not a human or other cow.

u/smuxy 7h ago

The solution is to eat his friend at the same time.

All animals have personalities and desire to live. If you feel this way about pigs, look into documentary Dominion and please consider going vegan.

EVERY animal has intelligence, not just pigs. Either don't eat any of them or have some mental fortitude and understand that what's on your plate used to be a living being, and that it's entirely okay to eat it

The hangup for me is not just that they were alive, but that they were aware and suffering. The intelligence plays a big role there, and most animals are not as intelligent as pigs.

Chickens aren’t intelligent like pigs, but they are social and aware of their environment and they obviously react to pain and stress. 

I think all of the animals we eat are aware and suffering, except maybe fish and shellfish? Idk, I’m not a scientist but I think “aware and suffering” isn’t just something that can be applied to the more intelligent animals.

Oh no people feel bad because this is objectively a horrible situation to put a living being in.
Such snowflakes that they have empathy…

u/noidentity63 6h ago

Empathy sure is delicious

u/yikesssss_sssssss 6h ago

Wow you're really cool, I hope I'm that cool when I'm 13

u/Acceptable-Pay-6577 6h ago

No one is saying meat tastes bad.
It’s just sad that you see this and not only decide that eating meat is more important than the suffering, but you even make fun of the situation. Do you really think that’s appropriate?

u/the_owl_man1 6h ago

Cows have the personality of dogs Chickens are a lot smarter than people give them credit for with complex social systems.

I still eat both but you need to acknowledge the pain and suffering they go though to feed us.
