Food

I try not to eat anything that smart. I will eat squid or octopus in a dish if presented to me, but won't order one. I am even having trouble ordering squid ink pasta. Justifying it by pointing out that it's actually cuttefish ink doesn't really work for me anymore. They are only slightly less intelligent than squid or octopus.

They weren’t smart enough to not end up as dinner, though!

I love the bouncy little lambs at the end of my garden, and once they’re old enough I’m happy to eat them.

I’ve been around farms all my life and have never had a problem reconciling Daisy the cow with dinner. Daisy doesn’t know she’s Daisy and doesn’t know she’ll be dinner.

It is really quite relative. If you are biking on the west coast or fishing in Alaska/Canada, you are more likely to be a meal (cougar/bear). In our situation, we are the cougar/bear. If someone prepared it well, I am happy to try it and finish it. I wish you luck. That is a hard position to think through.

I'm from Northern British Columbia and never worried about cougars or bears, well black bears but in my whole life up there I never saw a grizzly. However the more dangerous animals were the more delicious ones. Suicidal deer and pissed off moose. I knew lots of people that were hurt pretty bad in collisions with them. In high school my buddy's mom was hospitalized when she totalled her car hitting a moose, which apparently ran off. And one drive back to town from down south I passed 4 deer carcasses and saw about 8 pairs of eyes in the dark. Driving a Honda Civic hatchback it was mildly terrifying. So payback from the animals or something.

It wasn't hard for me to think through at all. It was totally arbitrary and probably grew out of my respect for the corvids. I decided that I would try to eat significantly fewer creatures known to use logic and reason and who may also have shown the capacity for tool building and use. Since there are only a tiny handful of species capable of that on earth and the fact that beyond cephalopods most of them are not a normal food source for North Americans, it was really easy.

And beyond those, there is almost nothing else I will not, or have not eaten from bugs to horse meat and bunnies to bears.

Driving back from Calgary in one of those three cylinder Suzuki Swift's in the middle of the night we went straight through a herd of whitetail. One went over the car and one looked me straight in the eye. I am still not sure how we survived.

I hit a deer, but a fairly small one. The worst part of that was having ‘hit pedestrian’ on my nationally shared insurance record. They didn’t have a code for deer.
