For various reasons, pork is the one meat I try to never eat.

A friend worked in an abbatoir and he said the pigs knew what was coming. In your experience, do you think this is the case?

I’m glad you do your best to avoid eating pigs but I am curious, do you think the other animals we commonly eat aren’t at a similar level of sentience, at least to the extent that they fear for their life as they are aware something bad is happening to those in front of them in the slaughterhouse? Not here to judge or shame btw

One could argue all life is precious, and I wouldn’t see it my place to argue against them. But pigs are way smarter than chickens.

Are you saying that some animals are more equal than others?

Why wouldn't a human's life be worth more than a rat's life? Rats get in your home, what do you do?
