    I recommend veganism to everyone - at least for a while- just because how different you can see farm animals. When I look inside the eyes of a pig I feel a connection. I know the kindness of this animal just by mutual respect. Try it, it feels great.

      Pigs aren’t vegan though. They’ll eat your dead corpse in a heart beat.

      I’ve known some real asshole pigs too, though most I’ve interacted with are usually pretty chill.

          Even though humans are the only animal that could meaningfully consent to being eaten. It’s an interesting (if uncomfortable) moral quandary.

        It sounds like you’re saying that they deserve to be eaten due to their personalities.

          no, it’s just that calling a pig a friendly animal probably isn’t the best example to use for this argument

            They are talking about the pig’s intelligence and understanding of the world. They are sentient, is the point
