[split] "Some people eat animals, some don't."

[Monica]

I don't consider this to be a speciesist view, as i do take into the understanding the values and rights to animals. Nobody is talking about torturing or harming animals here. The higher second density animals that are moving towards self awareness are the domesticated house pets.

There is absolutely No distinction between house pets and farm animals. Studies show that farm animals display the very same intelligence and complex emotions, even more so in some cases. Plus, people eat different animals in different parts of the world. Here in the US, pigs are considered 'farm animals' and dogs and cats pets, yet some people here have pigs as pets, and in China they eat dogs and cats. There simply isn't the convenient species distinction, as so many like to think.
