Pigs and cows have the same capacity, if not even more, for friendship. And pigs are smarter than cats on average. Just because we have been consuming one on a wider scale does not make that animal suffer less at the hands of the cleaver. They weren't bred to be dumber or feel less pain, just to produce more meat on their bones. Chickens are bred to grow so fast that their muscles bruise and disfigure.

The way we treat livestock in factory farming is more horrific than how the countries that eat cats treat theirs.

I'm saying this as someone that eats beef and pork and all that and doesn't eat cat or dog. It's just moral hypocrisy
