My cat has only murder on his mind.

Bezos Earth Fund is giving $60 million toward revamping alternative proteins

A review of the signatories on this declaration indicates most of the expertise is in philosophy, psychology, and environmental studies. The group asserts that a wide array of species, including lobsters, fish, octopi, and insects, can experience elements of consciousness and sentience.

   First, there is strong scientific support for attributions of conscious experience to other mammals and to birds.

   Second, the empirical evidence indicates at least a realistic possibility of conscious experience in all vertebrates (including reptiles, amphibians, and fishes) and many invertebrates (including, at minimum, cephalopod mollusks, decapod crustaceans, and insects).

   Third, when there is a realistic possibility of conscious experience in an animal, it is irresponsible to ignore that possibility in decisions affecting that animal. We should consider welfare risks and use the evidence to inform our responses to these risks.

I mean, okay, I can get behind that I guess.

But I've seen bugs fly straight into campfires and burn to death, so I'm not really too impressed.

For critters, cephalopods have demonstrated some level of “intelligence” this is nothing new. Organisms with far simpler central nervous systems like arthropods and insects? Yea, I’m calling BS a on that. I’ve never read anything that suggests they have ANY measurable intelligence

I have no doubt that cephalopods are sentient and they are also aware that we are as well.

If a little fried shrimp looking thing was going to develop into something that could and would eat me alive in one bite it would seem to make sense to eat them.

Hell, I might be okay with irradiating and virus bombing their planets. Followed by extensive and horrifying scientific experiments on them at all stages of development to ensure that their very DNA was expunged from everywhere in the universe except maximum security laboratory facilities.

But no that doesn't happen because the creators of that fictional universe are a pack of liberal pussys and "herp derp! Nixon has been dead for decades but he's still our nemesis! Derp!"

Think I remember reading a theory that cephalopods originate from another planet, something to do with their evolutionary background.

At least one science fiction author has posited engineering squid into astronauts. Hopefully they prove more trustworthy than Omicronians.

I think that is a very low estimate.  

We still manage to struggle at 'measuring' the intelligence of humans - doing so across phyla is a whole other matter.

I watched a video of one in an aquarium that had become quite the practical joker.....anytime someone set a bag down near its tank, it would squirt salt water into the bag, then watch the owner pick up the bag

They are also adept at using tools and opening bottles and jars to get to food inside

Like most issues we're psyop'd into, the truth usually isn't a binary choice. Aquinas wrote about the difference of souls in the 13th century, and it's pretty spot on. Put simply, you have humans that are rational, animals which react to stimuli, and plants which clearly are living but can't convey things to us or exhibit any sort of emotion.

Killing animals humanely is a part of every major world religion. So we've known this for a very long time.

What these trash psyops are trying to get you to do, is ignore the fact you eat dead animals that were killed so you could eat, and pretend a shittier animal should die so you can eat. It's just such trash. LBJ legit lied about eggs to hide fiscal policy, and NPR bragged about it.

These fucking people are preying on you not being normal, and trying to make not normal more common.

Direct source for egg claim

These people only care about power and control. They do not care about your health, and their false concern for animals is a convenient guise to hide their true intentions.

Also we need to end central banking
