Personally I find dolphins, whales (and also primates, corvids and parrots) more intelligent, sentient even.

That's why I'm particularly furious about their murder.

That’s not incompatible with my statement

[–] Viceversa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In my case it's incompatible. I don't feel the same about cattle, unfortunately. And I can't force myself to feel it.

Have you watched any footage of how cows and pigs are killed? I used to hold your opinion but seeing them struggle for their life against all odds lit a flame in me.

I suspect it's cruel and awful and avoid watching it 😔
I know I should become vegetarian

Vegetarianism is a diet. If you believe non human animals don’t deserve to be exploited you are a vegan.

[–] Viceversa@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Vegetarianism still reduces demand for animal products. It's not just a diet.
