I guess it's a question of when does your moral kicks in and makes you feel bad about the kill. I've seen and participated both in killing of pig and chicken.

I guess it's a question of when does your moral kicks in and makes you feel bad about the kill. I've seen and participated both in killing of pig and chicken. Multiple pigs are always a problem that needs to be addressed as they go crazy when they hear the first one die. When you kill a chicken and bleed it out to the ground the other chickens come to pick the blood and totally incapable of realizing the same fate will come to them. Even lower are insects like a wasp. If you cut its head it will try to eat it then when that fails it grabs it's own head and fly it to home because its second algorithm is called "gather food". I'm not even sure you can call this "intelligence". I have serious problems killing pigs and I would never attempt one because it feels wrong. But chickens are dumb man, I don't have any problems killing and eating them whatsoever.
