    You know that meme where it’s got all these animals lined up left to right and the message is “where do you draw the line”? I’d think probably just before this animal is a good starting place

      Guinea pig was one of the main meat sources for the Inca. I don’t mean that as an argument, just interesting.

        I kind of agree… I’ve been around these things, and they are incredibly stupid.

        I guess I’d draw the line around them purely because in western culture these are pets… But I think practically speaking these are a lot better than actual pigs, which are very intelligent.

        We have very strange eating habits when you really think about it.

          It always amazed me that the anti-abortion people and the vegetarian people had basically no overlap. Supposedly “pro-life” with no exceptions… unless it’s this pig I want to eat. But that fetus with encephalopathy? That baby deserves every second of his tortuous, miserable life. All 38 hours of it.

            Really tips you off that it’s actually about controlling women’s bodies for them and not really about “saving lives”

            I have a friend who is both anti-abortion and vegetarian. She’s not the most logical person all the time, but she’s really consistent on this one. I vigorously disagree with her anti-abortion stance, but I admire her consistency, if that makes sense.

          The lines are completely arbitrary. Cows and pigs are at least as affectionate, social, and intelligent as dogs, so why draw a line between them?

          They’re especially hairy rats. I’d rather people eat rats than cows.
