[kj] kj] Age of Greed- Veggie Heaven

[Brendan Quinn]

Humans have an affinity for / bias towards mammals, hence the debate about
Japanese and Faroe Islanders killing whales, Chinese dog eating festivals
etc. 

In terms of supporting rational / ethical arguments: mammals have the most
complex nervous systems, behaviour and communication of all animals. Whether
that has any bearing is up for debate, but limiting the context to sentient
/ not sentient isn't necessarily the whole story.

I'm good up to this point, but if anyone mentions octopuses...must dash!

He still an avid fish eater. Fish aren't any less sentient than cows, if
that's a sticking point. 

Again, to each their own.
