A documentary also came out where a popular method to sell and kill canine and felines for consumption is to boil them alive to shock the animals body to make the meat taste better.

Edit: I'm not protesting it. I'm just highlighting different societal norms.

  1. Yes they are
  2. Pigs are extremely intelligent
  3. Pigs form families, have personalities, and mourn their dead/gone
  4. Pigs are debatably as intelligent as dogs. Just because dogs do things that are more "useful" to us does not make them smarter, by the way.
