If you eat meat, are you able to defend why you think cows and chickens are okay to eat but you would never consider eating a cat or a dog? For example, outrage over dog fur on coats has recently affected the fashion industry; but I wonder why a person would feel (at least in Western civilization) that a dog is unacceptable to wear but a mink or a bunny is perfectly fine. Albeit dog is man's best friend, but bunnies can be kept as pets too. Is there any rational justification for believing that a dog is superior to a bunny, or that a horse is superior to a cow when it comes to dining? Be mindful that asserting intelligence is a slippery slope, as some animals have an intelligence factor equivalent to young humans, and we wouldn't want to be guilty of cannibalism, now would we?
