I once saw a video of cows crying as they were leading them to the slaughterhouse and it fucked me up for life. The people in this thread who see these little piggies and their first thought is “yummy” are just gross. They are intelligent and emotional animals. I mostly only eat fish because they are basically NPCs but even that I don’t love the idea of.
Plants are actually incredibly complex and can in fact control how they respond to stimuli. The focus on an animal-type sentience by vegans is an out to avoid having to consider the plant experience. Vegans need plants to be NPCs to avoid an ego crisis, and nothing will make you as intellectually dishonest as the ego.
Also, you don't have free will. Your experience of consciousness is an illusion designed to make you a succesful mobile living organism.
