So the subject is intelligence ... It''s real low is eating animals out of habit, personally contributing to around 365 unnecessary deaths a year, hidden usually beneath shrink-wrap and industry propaganda with tendrils that reachinto cook books by TV chefs and supposed health charities.

The pitfall is being too lazy to learn how to eat kindly, successfully.

Yet it can be done, and is done, more and more.

Every difference, every saved life, matters. Only by luck did you land in your body not theirs.
You have the amazing opportunity to save lives, each time you eat.

In 1982, cartoonist Gary Larson published a now-iconic "Far Side" comic titled "Cow Tools." In it, a cow stands proudly beside a jumble of bizarre, useless objects that are "tools" in name only. The joke hinged on a simple assumption: cows are not intelligent enough to make or use tools.

It's Time to Celebrate Animal Sentience and Stop Squabbling

Science and common sense show diverse animals are feeling beings who care about what happens to themselves and others, and skeptics need to stop ignoring well-established facts.
