We eat pigs, though.
True enough and they are very intelligent, at least on par with dogs if not smarter.

Generally speaking, the rule is you don't eat smart animals. I guess in some places you do but in my part of the world you don't eat dolphins, elephants, horses, dogs, etc. because they are more intelligent. We eat the dumb ones like chickens and cows. So I guess it would actually be harder to eat an animal that can communicate.
Contrary to what a vegan would say, eating meat is vital to human diet so yeah np. If anything it will make people more appreciative of the sacrifice of the animal for our survival. The old hunters way always gives the highest of reverence and appreciation to the prey. Supermarkets take that away.
Have you ever spent time around a horse?
Animals are awesome, loving, super cute when young, adorable, and can obviously communicate...I think we'll quickly get over the whole faux-talking-via-forced-implant speed bump.Saw this topic brought up the other day on a Toronto morning show, thought it was interesting.
A "futurologist" (whatever the hell that is) states that an implant could be developed by 2050 that gives animals the ability to speak to us.
So from this, they speculate whether or not animals having a voice humanizes them and will it make you think twice about gobbling down their delicious carcass?

For myself, I'm too far gone to change. Like Vincent Vega said, "but bacon tastes good, pork chops taste good"
What say you Sherdoggy?
As much as I love meat, there is no reason we have to eat meat to be healthy. You can absolutely sustain thrive on a vegan diet. So your statement is false.Contrary to what a vegan would say, eating meat is vital to human diet so yeah np.

Yes and they are magnitudes smarter than cows and chickens.

That said, I just got done eating a bacon cheeseburger, and I got steak on the menu tonight
