    use them as insults.
    “wow you eat like a pig”
    🐷??? “and thats a problem why?”

    also tell them how we treat them and see them as lesser beings compared to us.

    We would make it too complicated. Almost all animals are in survival mode. Some that have free time could understand limited concepts. It would be easier to setup commerce with some corvids for example but not to keep them out of the corn fields. Dogs would have a lot more anxiety and cats wouldn’t change much.

    Considering that negotiating with livestock would be a hassle, probably just pretend we can’t understand them

      It’s not like we can’t understand the screams and cries from livestock right now already…

        Yeah, but the living ones are not asking “hooman, what happened to Stacy?”

          Cows are known to cry and wail when their calves are taken and killed.

            TIL, I thought we usually kill the older animals first.

              Dairy cows are impregnated around 7 times so they can be milked. Most of their calves are used for veal.

      …while still listening to everything they say in order to control them more efficiently.

        Sounds like a good premise for a scifi story.

        This’d be great since it’s a whole lot less morally compromising when it wasn’t even us bumping them off.
