Cows and pigs aren't exactly mindless either (chikinz iz pretty dum). Peter and I are still somewhat divided over the issue of pigs. He thinks they should fall under 'too smart to eat', I find the idea of pigs being extremely smart to be incredibly disturbing for various reasons and am just not that sure in general... I've seen a cute trained pet pig, but I've also seen at least one 'look how smart my pig is!' that looked only marginally more bright than a rock.

(Elephants definitely rate on my smart list, but I don't *think* anyone eats them... I hope not!)

So yeah, I suppose in Australia I'd probably try it. Don't know if I'll ever be down there though.
