For the Golden Rule to apply I think I would have to imagine a higher life form relative to myself, rather than pretending I was a cow or a pig. Really though, I’d take the deal even if the “higher life form” were replaced with any meat eating entity, even other humans. That’s not to say I wouldn’t be outraged by the situation I’d find myself in, just that I’d prefer that existence to none at all.
