But it’s not because I considered pigs that smart, it’s just a cruel practice, industrial farming. I’m fine with them being farmed if there’s proper regulation.
I do eat deer, horse and reindeer among other things as well. Less so beef, or try to at least.
So I guess if you’re talking about the whaling of the common minke whale which isn’t a threatened species at the moment, and I’d look into the regulation and practices, I guess I’d be fine with eating some.
Although I would still attribute vastly higher intelligence to whales than deer and pigs. I mean, it’s hard to measure, but pigs eat their own babies which they kill by accident. That’s why they have like a dozen. And prey animals like deer are usually kinda frantic and not seemingly that smart.
Whereas whales, we don’t even know how intelligent they are, but some species are definitely super intelligent and the communication they use is complex af.
Still, can’t say you’re wrong in your points, as I often make the same points for deer, but they breed kinda lot and they honestly have to be kept in check so they don’t ruin environments whereas I’m pretty sure whales aren’t considered pests anywhere? I mean, I’m not at all sure, but I am guessing. There’s those ship destroying ones, but that seems targeted against humans and not them generally destroying their environment.
I don’t eat pork, really.
