    People wouldn’t care nearly as much if he said this while standing over a pond full of fish, but since they’re cute, fuzzy lambs, it’s Crossing The Line.

      To be fair, fish brains are much further removed than other mammals.

      Mammals have memories and can love. They have opinions and personalities.

      The distinction that I would better is how up in arms some people get at the idea of eating dogs or cats but other mammals are perfectly fine.

      I mean, yeah… Lambs are baby animals. Of course they are fluffy and cute.

      Id feel pretty weird eating cute, baby animals, so I don’t. I do get why people don’t like this situation. It feels like people are being obtuse in this thread pretending to be flummoxed by all this.
