I got removed as a mod for removing this post a while ago lol. I agree that pigs are intelligent animals and that pig eyes look superficially like human eyes, but having superficially human-looking eyes by coincidence doesn't itself suggest anything about their behavior or inherent value relative to other animals.
Advocacy for animal rights is a separate topic from animal consciousness imho and this clip doesn't really do either justice.
But the relationship between predator and prey in other animals is completely different from what humans do. A wolf or a lion, for example, only hunts in order to eat, and in order to eat it has to hunt, it has to make an effort and possibly take some risk, and its prey has a chance to escape or outsmart the predator. Humans instead raise cattle only to slaughter it, in many cases keeping these animals in industrial, unnatural environments where the priority is for the animal to gain as much weight as possible, not taking into account its QoL.
... I said that the situation shown in the video wasn't fair, you said that it was fair because it's what happens in nature, I explained why I think it's different from what happens in nature.
It really is uncanny how much he looks like a pig
The fur wasn’t a dead giveaway huh?
You must come from a hairy family.

With how often OP posts about pigs, you’d think they would recognize a clearly un-human eye
Sus
A very tasty human! 🥓
A living, conscious being, driven off to be slaughtered and eaten. How is this fair?
How isn't it? That's the truth for almost every living conscious thing on earth. We get eaten or die

Okay? Who said otherwise?
