The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Far more animals than previously thought likely have consciousness, top scientists say in a new declaration — including fish, lobsters and octopus.

(Of course there's someone at the end of the article still trying to rationalize murder as "humane")

I'm glad this is beign recognized but it is still so strange to me a living beings worthiness is based on this thing most people can't even define for themselves. I can't ever forget from studying history in college how slave owners asked the same questions about other people.
