Swan Foie Gras?
So if I stuck a pin into a cockroach** it wouldn't react in anyway at all Stoner ? ............. cool 😀
On the question of moral dilemmas Stoner, would it be ok to stamp on a chicken if you saw one scurrying across the kitchen floor trying to hide under the dish washer when you turned the lights on ?
** btw did you know that the Spanish for cockroach is cucaracha ? Which is undoubtedly one of the coolest words in human vocabulary.

I did, but dont know why. Have you mentioned it before on here?
An insect with rhythm. I like.
As for cockroach pain, it may be a lot more like us than Ive given credit.

There's loads of song (versions) about 'La Cucaracha' . That's probably why you knew.......... I was spoilt for choice when I looked a youtube for a link to a cucaracha vid.
The world would be a very, very strange and different place if we took the moral claims of all living creatures of whatever species remotely seriously. We often struggle with treating humans as though they matter. Can you imagine how much confusion there would be if we also acted as though cockroaches were significant moral patients entitled to a basic standard of respect for their personhood?
It may well be the right thing to do, but it would be extremely difficult. 🙂
