How smart would cows have to become for you to stop eating beef? (lemmy.world)

Obviously this question is only for people who eat beef regularly.

But I just was wondering, what IQ/ability would make you swear off beef? If they could speak like an 8 y.o, would that be enough to cut off beef? If they got an IQ of 80, would that do it?

I raised some pigs a few years ago and I kept waiting for that time when I'd go out to their pen and look into their eyes and swear off meat forever.

It never happened. They were fucking delicious and I'm glad they're dead. Pigs are fleshy bulldozers wrapped around a garbage disposal.
