All they would have to do is ask why we are destroying their homes to make our own or why we raise so many of them just to slaughter and consume them.

Furries.

“Where are my testicles, Summer?”

Corporate America will immediately determine and then monetize all their needs. In a generation we’ll have cats paying for enough mice to get them through the week with the last of their earnings from the previous 2 weeks of catching hundreds of mice for their employers.

We wouldn’t like what they have to say, and would pretty quickly move from abusing them out of apathy to abusing them out of malice.

I mean, we have enough trouble being nice to slightly different humans, right?

Can’t find it right now but here was a great comic about giving a dog the power to speak and they said “give me some of that food you are eating” and the humans said “nope, this is our food” and the dog was so betrayed. Obviously if humans just -understood- that dogs wanted human food they would give it, right?

Right?!

„The goat is lying!!!“

I think if animals could suddenly communicate with humans, those in power would be driving them to extinction even further as the animals would be very against the destruction of their homes and may hurt the bottom line.

By convincing ourselves that we can’t.

Every which way. Humans are absolutely the very worst communicators on this earth. Rocks communicate better than we do!
