Bad analogy. I didn’t say they were human. I said they were conscious. They are, and they know they are. That distinction makes a great deal of difference. It would be like Aliens hunting us. Our consciousness is different than theirs (if they exist) but no less valid or real. We make a grave error in our arrogance, in assuming that because they do not think or live like we do, that they are somehow less.
What do you know of pigs?
Same could be said about cows and pigs but to me there is little difference food is food. Some say vegetables are aware too so perhaps we shouldn’t eat at all?
