You can communicate with humans. Can you convince them to stop killing each other?

Why do you connect consciousness and not killing? Not killing all humans is fairly new concept for us and we always knew they were conscious.

Are you equating consciousness with rationality and intelligence?

Literally nobody has ever done that. Try understanding his comment a different way. Like, say, that the human protections against violence preclude humans who chose to act violently, ergo if we extend that protection to animals, many of them would lose that protection as soon as it was extended to them.

To clarify, mtowle means 'them' as in 'the humans,' i.e. omnis will go to prison, be killed or endure some other form of violent punishment if caught eating meat.

Good luck with that. Maybe it happens, but I'm not holding my breath.

No I don't. I mean there's no point in extending a protection if you're just going to take it right back.

> To clarify...

I recommend not doing this again.

I agree. Don't try to help anyone understand my comments either.

There's a big difference between a declaration and a proof.
