I dunno I kind of class them in animals which are too close to humans somehow to be desirable to eat. Like they have personalities and long lives that just get interrupted by people deciding they'd make a great meal. A lot of species of turtles are threatened by invasive species like bullfrogs and habitat degradation as well.
I'm not a picky eater by any means but there's definitely some meats out there I see on the menu and don't order, octopus for example - They're too smart to be munching on.
- downut 4y agoI've encountered many soft shell turtles (if you fish with bait in South Florida you will catch turtles) and I would not classify them as close to humans. I think if this sort of determination were to get any social traction then pigs would be the first granted clemency. I don't see that happening, ever. (I have no opinion at all about your preferences, obvs.)
- jamal-kumar 4y agoYeah I guess we all anthropomorphize our favorite creatures
- pessimizer 4y agoPigs and cows seem pretty smart to me. Smarter than horses, at least. edit: hell, birds are pretty smart, too, even if domestic chickens seem exceptionally stupid.
