TIL animals are smart.

Maybe that's why we shouldn't be eating them.

The reason I stopped eating them isn’t because they are smart, it’s because they have a nervous system and can experience pain. We now know too that many (most/all?) can experience emotional pain, for example, grief.

Edit: people downvoting scientific fact. You have my sympathies 😂
