Is that what we’re basing this on now? If the animal is dumb enough we can eat it guilt free? Anything we can anthropomorphize sufficiently we have decided is off limits. We like dogs more than pigs, so we eat the pigs and recoil in horror at eating a dog. We poison rats and feed squirrels because squirrels are cuter. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/11/29/octopus-intelligence-meal/
