It poses a moral question I think. And on that premise I can tell the people of Taiji, the whalers of Japan, Norway and Iceland, that they are barbarians.
Do I need to spell out the moral implications of killing something that is self aware?
I have no idea as to whether pigs are self aware or not. If it turns out that they are then I will be against eating pigs too.
Im already against FACTORY farming. Where animals are put through terrible conditions.

I have no idea the point you are trying to make here. They do all those things so they deserve to die? Is that what you are trying to say? Its not much of a counter argument against mine... in fact it has nothing to do with my argument.

emotional based facts? Facts are facts. I dont know what you mean by "emotional" based facts. Perhaps its an English problem on your part.
Anyway... Check my links above... they seem to be scientific findings.
