Animals you consider too smart to eat

[BuddhaRhubarb]

Elephants, primates, and cetaceans, octopi and cuttlefish are thinking, feeling, even reasoning creatures with rich inner lifes, and it would be a moral wrong to take its life without justification or excuse.

How is nourishment not justification? It's not like you're going on a killing spree and taking the lives of animals for fun.

According to PETA you are doing just that. 

according to PETA Fake fur is murder. buncha tards. I'd rather hang out with a born again tard than a PETA Tard.

[Ideologue]

I would never claim that your are morally wrong (I don't know what that is) but a couple of observations:

1. Ironically you may be overthinking food.

2. Are you sure you're not a woman?

Well, you asked me to explain my logic, so I did.

Fine, the next time you're feeling peckish, we'll butcher the cats instead of buying food.  It's about alternatives--since food of unambigious moral content is readily available in all the varieties we require to live and function, there is no justification or excuse for you to eat my liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

Okay, obviously you weren't paying attention to the beginning of the thread. I would not eat a cat or dog because of cultural reasons. So our cats are fine. I am talking about cows and pigs which are bred for food. Personally I wouldn't eat squid or octopi because I think they have a weird texture.

If you are not gonna eat mammals for personal reasons then you should't eat chicken either. They have feelings too.

Tell Ide to stop being a Pussy.  Your house already has two.  You don't need more.

At any rate, Ide is overthinking matters.  When it comes to eating, there is no such thing as morality.  Just as the lion doesn't care about how intelligent the elephant is when it kills and eats it, so should we not.  To do anything else is to open the road to PETA thinking.

Lions can't kill an Elephant.

This is, of course, incorrect.  I've seen it happen.

Maybe a baby, but even that's tough for them, they can't crush the windpipe which is their main way to kill.

The one I saw killed was a young adult.  Stop trying to convince me it can't be done.  Your conviction is nothing against my own senses.

How?

[Neil]

Jumped on it in a group of about 12-15 at night.  Exhausted it.  Bled it to death.  It tried to run, but they tore and snapped at it's hindquarters while it was on the run.

Provided that it isn't too big, a lone elephant can be taken by a pride.

[The Brain]

A Pride is enough to kill anyone's will to live.
