    Fixing their living conditions? Nah, just make it so they they can suffer even worse.

    Technology used to exploit both swine and humans, to the detriment of both their lives and well-being, for the benefit of entrenched capital.

    I’m excited for it, honestly. It’s really too bad all of this is happening during a time of deregulation, but CRISPr was a discovery that has fascinated me since it first started making headlines.

    I’m not vegan or even vegetarian. I don’t eat pigs because they are very intelligent and some, like the ones in the picture, are just too cute. I will tear up some chicken or fish though. Chickens are about as smart as earthworms.

      our opinions of appearance and their perceived ‘intelligence’ have no bearing on their ability to suffer; nor the unfathomable harm the animal agriculture industries are doing to the environment and our health.

        I get my chickens from local farmers. They live a good life.

          The natural life span of a chicken is ten years or more. Your chickens don’t have a good life, they have at best a shitty childhood where they are not able to express their instinctive behaviours.

          That you are able to lie to yourself despite so much evidence being available to you speaks to the power of carnism, denial, and self delusion.

    the rich are going to start having kids that live unusually long, have unusually similar symmetric features, and have unusually high intelligence.

    like miranda from mass effect.
