inwould ask them what they were eting before i made up my mind to eat
them

Well, I know I could never live on a farm and eat the animals I raised.
It'd have to be a chicken farm or a dairy farm.

Hypocritical of me to say that, perhaps, because I do eat meat...but
there's a big difference between eating a "specific" animal and one with
whom you're not "personally acquainted."

My dogs can't verbalize what they want, but they communicate
nonetheless. Dahlia, especially, has shown on numerous occasions that
she understands, quite well, what I'm saying.

Some people think that dogs have the intellect of a three-year-old
child. She certainly seems to. And even Kohl, who is not quite as
"smart," shows he understands most of what I say.

Of course, I'd never eat my dogs, regardless.

Hot dogs sizzle on the grill-does that count?

They would first say how stupid humans are for trying to take care of
them. They would say stop treating me like a baby.

If they could talk....that means the can understand and HEAR.....I'd say
get over here you big juicy filet mignon!

LOL can I atleast tickle Ned

it's beyond me to view animals as "meat". when i see a steak, i don't
see food...i see dead, chopped up, bleeding animal.

i'm not able to remove it...and haven't been able to do so since i was a
child. probably why i AM a vegetarian.

what if plants talked as well?

ever drop a lobster in a bot of boiling water?

then i'd have to only eat fruit.

My Tallulah does talk...she communicates very well what she wants, what
she is feeling and what she is thinking...it may be in "wookie talk"
but over the last two years (I've had her since she was 4-weeks
old) I have learned quite well how to understand here...she is quite
clear if you listen to her

I'd just say "Be quiet we're at the dinner table"

yes

No on eating them, and I hear chocolate covered ants and crickets are
not only healthy but tasty
