I'd rather not eat anything sapient. Crabs, chicken, and beef? Fine, but I'm not eating anything smarter than a 5-year-old human. No octopi or corvids for me.

    Hopefully you don't eat pigs then. They are one of the most intelligent animals.

    I eat beef... But when you meet cows they are basically gigantic dogs...

    Sometimes I go though phases where I don't want any meat... But eventually my brain pushes those feelings back..

    That said fuck factory farming, I really wish we had a better system

    How do you judge that? There are very many species of animals and there is variation within each species.

    Personally I just have a list of animals that I have enough respect for to never consider eating them. If I'm convinced enough, I'll add new animals to the list.

    • dog/wolf 🐺
    • hourse 🐴
    • whale/dolphin 🐋
    • hominidae 🦍 It's not very hard because I wasn't planning on eating any of these guys in the first place, but I can see myself giving up beef as my respect for cows grows.
