Science is moving in that direction. Every year more and more animals are found capable of _making_ tools, suffering of depression, having "regional dialects," etc.

Could we eat beings that are intelligent and have feelings?
Would it make any difference to you?

Why would you eat animals? Sounds sick to me.

I think it's fairly obvious animals think and have feelings. They would not survive a minute if they couldn't think at all. Of course, some animals think and feel more than others - due to more developed and advanced brains. But it's OK to eat fish because they don't have any feelings.

Of course they think! Ever shared a space with a cat or a Border collie???????????????
Hell on Earth , they plot revenge before I even cause insult!
Yeah I would eat them! actually. today my collie ATE my favorite hair clip, because I napped on the Sofa instead of playing Frisbee.
Just wait until the price of meat goes up, 101 ways to WOK the dog. As for my useless cats,who I put in the grain room with a mouse and they ignored it and went to sleep!
Yeah, I like Restaurant Chicken wings as much as the next person.
My pet Bantam Hen, Well If I cut myself in the greenhouse, she follows me around drinking the blood I have spilled from my body off the floor. Not to mention stealing my P.B.&J's off my desk in my office. EAT or BE EATEN I SAY!!!!!!!!!!
Even if she is cute and snuggles her head into my shoulder and lifts a wing to be scratched.
I Sleep with one eye open in my house!
O.K. I am being silly, NO I don't eat family members, or friends of family members.
But let Mr. Codfish beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!

absolutely. How else am i going to survive? it's the chain of life. what if it were proven that plants have intelligence and feelings as well, are you going to starve? I am sure lions do have some type of communication with their prey but that doesn't stop them. It's life and yes i will still eat them. What's your answer about the plants?

i wish we would stop doing that. I love meat and poultry. It is also healthy for our bodies. It would make me feel a little more uncomfortable knowing that the thing i am eating suffered from depression or got a D on his final exam before i ate him.
