ARGH! THE LITTLE ONES!
I have a free hour and so am watching Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall in a River Cottage Spring episode, and he has just caught, killed and cooked a cuttlefish. While that is the sort of carnivorism I approve of, I can't help feeling that it's like eating a quite bright dog. I knew that they were clever from seeing them underwater, but ever since watching The Brainy Bunch, a documentary showing the extreme cleverness of cuttlefish (Kings of Camouflage outside Australia), I can't help think of them as slightly cranky, fluorescing, tentacled border collies.
Despite not being a big meat eater, I am not a radical animal rights person, either, because we're all parts of the ecosystem and some parts are tastier than others (which is why I stay well out of the way of large sharks and big cats!). But horses, dogs and cuttlefish ... it'd be like eating a dolphin. Vegie soup for dinner after that, I fear.
