A roadblock humans have in deciphering intelligence in animals is that we can't help but assume the smartest ones must resemble us. Clearly, nobody told that to the pig.

^^^^And that is where my aversion to meat stems from. Eating something that has greater intelligence than human children is not something I can reconcile.

I will never forget an article from an old National Geographic about tigers being caged and killed for food in Asia, and the madness and despair in the eyes of the big cats as they were carted off. They knew their fate, and it haunts me.
