If we ever come to the point of regarding intelligent animals with whom we share this planet as disposable objects, we demean the very spirit of our humanity. We are long past that point. All animals are to some extent intelligent. What's the cut-off between those it's okay to treat as disposable objects and those it's not? Pigs are remarkably intelligent, but ham and bacon sell well. Cows are sacred in many parts of the Far East, but steak is a staple on our menus. It's all cultural. We eat cows but not horses. We eat rabbits but not cats. We eat pigs but not dogs. None of it makes rational sense. Pure culture.
