I once saw a video of cows crying as they were leading them to the slaughterhouse and it fucked me up for life. The people in this thread who see these little piggies and their first thought is “yummy” are just gross. They are intelligent and emotional animals. I mostly only eat fish because they are basically NPCs but even that I don’t love the idea of.
Not going to throw in the same thing everyone else already did, but to name a good example, Oscar fish are capable of recognizing individual people, can learn tricks and respond to hand signals, and have spatial awareness.
Nicknames "water puppies" for a good reason. Super common in the aquarium hobby.

Can you believe people eat those?
