I think we more or less agree about pigs. I’m fine with humanely raised and killed farm animals.
I actually encouraged Calamari at the Solstice party, and squids seem at least as intelligent as pigs. I was thinking we’d be having meat anyway so it might as well be something on theme and any single instance of meat-eating doesn’t really impact overall consumption of a species. As it turned out squid is hard to cook and wasn’t really worth and I’m glad, because in retrospect, if it HAD become popular, I’d feel pretty bad. The squid also ended up being eaten in ADDITION to a more traditional roast, and probably would have been in future Solstices as well, if it became popular.
