I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Anyone who refuses to eat dog or cat because it is “cruel” and yet will happily take a bite out of cow or pig, is a hypocrite. Cruelty is cruelty and suffering is suffering, regardless of how cute and adorable an animal is.
I hope that stories like this will get people thinking about where their food comes from, that a cow, chicken, pig, or duck is just as sentient and alive as a dog or cat. It’s time to stop eating meat, people!

Agreed 100%. Even before I was strictly vegan, when I learned that pigs were smarter than dogs… no pork for me! It just took a while to apply that to all the others. I really hope this sort of thing really does make people question their old assumptions.
