It's actually interesting because your point on ethical considerations was actually raised in the article itself. It's an important thing to think about and discuss, no matter which "side" you're on.

I will say, on the kidney side of things...you do have two so I suppose there's a chance they let the pig live. I just skinned the article but I couldn't find out that info unfortunately.

I'm glad the point was raise bcz I think it's important to consider that these animals are thinking, breathing, feelings beings just as much as we are.

The fact that we have slaughter houses full of them is a crime against nature in my opinion.

I tend to get a lot of hate when this comes up bcz people aren't willing to think of species other than humans as of equally deserving of life an autonomy. I honestly don't understand why it's a controversial opinion considering mu opinion, is be kind and stop being cruel.

But then again, we can't even do that for our own species, so why should I expect we can view other species as deserving of respect.
