John Wilkes Booth

i do feel like the less intelligent an animal is, the more you can morally justify not valuing its life enough to kill it for consumption, while still feeling like a sensitive pussy who empathizes with lower lifeforms. even vegans kill other life forms to eat, they just leave animals alone cause they feel animals are too intelligent. so already you've introduced the concept that intelligence is the deciding factor for whether a life form can be consumed. and since there are varying levels of intelligence it makes sense that there are a number of possible places where you can draw that line, depending on how sensitive you are. everyone draws a line somewhere, except cannibals, who are just straight up gangster like that.

i wonder what the least intelligent animal we eat is. by we i mean westerners. cause i know chinese people like to eat bugs and ****, which is pretty humane of them i must say.
