People have no problems with killing pigs even though they are smarter than cats and dogs which people traditionally have no problems with killing

I wouldn't kill a cat because I like cats. I don't kill spiders either because they are useful for insect control plus they watch. They watch and see that you squished one of their own and will crawl on you at night or something.
Everything else, gently caress it. If there are only a few of them remaining before extinction you better bring one quick so I can bash it to death with an ax handle or something. People especially but even more especially chimpanzees.

Lobsters, for one, the pinchy little shits. I'm bigger than them, I'm stronger than them and they've got it coming.
Otherwise, I'd be stuck eating chickens and that would be about it for any kind of even vaguely intelligent animal.

Now that I think about it, if the animal was trying to kill me I might not feel guilt no matter how smart it was, and if it was really smart I might even feel proud that I had defeated it

He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah . But whoever is forced by necessity, neither desiring it nor transgressing its limit, there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful
I'm fine with killing pigs which I have done but I don't ever shoot ravens, ever. I found one tangled up in a bush last year (it was dead) and felt really bad and did an elaborate funereal for it. It has a headstone made of dolomite. I realized it was a test from Oetzi the raven god, and now I Have founded a new religion (I am the only adherent).

For me it's more least intelligent animal.

Humans no problem, have to be ready kark a motherfucker at all times because they'd do the same.
With the exceptions of gorillas and orangutans (those two are just too chill? I dunno) I'd have no complaints about dropping nape on the other lesser apes like baboons, helper monkeys, and Rebs, other than the meat being overdone and smelling like gasoline if I needed a snack.

Pretty much anything dumber is rule of the jungle.

I once threw a mouse that was caught on a gluetrap into a bucket of water and listened to the poor tiny beast drown. I'll never forget the sounds it made. Ive killed many 'water bugs' and roaches but jesus christ killing a mammal made me feel like garbage for a month. It was better than letting the thing starve and rip its skin off but ugg, that thing wasn't too many genes removed from me.

I think if i could say "I killed 10 pigs today" I would feel less guilty than if I said "I killed a pig today"

As long as they are consenting adults of course, how can you rob a brother and sister, mother and son, grandfather and granddaughter, from enjoying the full benefits of open relationships and legal recognition?

Without resorting to bigoted and outdated religious arguments or socially constructed ideas of morality, can we really say that it should be socially shunned or prohibit these consenting adults from enjoying equal protection under the law?

That really depends on how much of an rear end in a top hat the animal in question is.

Also, I'm rather surprised nobody has posted that horrible description of a chimpanzee attack yet.
