Id happily tuck into a whale if I thought it was sustainable etc. You go around the Victorian coast and the roots of many of the fine historical townships are in whaling. How grand, I say.
I think the biggest issue is probably economic. Cleverer animals are less likely to cooperate in their destruction, like the finely docile cow or sheep. Also, they tend to have less bang for their buck, I say. Not like a big beefy cowberg who will happily munch away all day, filling his many grand stomachs

They also tend to reproduce less often.

If you can teach an animal to talk (like the did with monkeys and sign language), then it is a sentient being, therefore, by my definition, monkeys, whales amd dolphins are all sentient so we shouldn't eat them!

Hmmm i guess i'm suspicious of eating pigs and shellifish - as they are nature's garbage disposals. Shellfish are known to have concentrations of up to 30 times the levels of pollutants in the water - these 'filter feeders' digest food in such a way that contaminants are absorbed into the flesh - they exist to purify the river or stream they inhabit for fish etc.

As for pigs - On examining the swine’s anatomy, we find that, as a supplement to his bad appetite he has but one poorly constructed stomach arrangement, and very limited excretory organs generally. Consequently, in about three hours after he has eaten his polluted swill, putrid carrion, or other offensive matter, man may eat the same in second-hand style off the ribs of the pig.

Compare this to a cow with 5 stomachs etc you can see that these shit eating failure animals are bad for us - not to mention fattening.
but wr cant breed all oyster for pearls fpr jewry/

To be sentient, a creature must be capable of itelectule dialogue, and has an iq >80, one monkey got 104, more inteligent than the average human!

No, they are sentient because the majority of there species has an IQ above 80

Mm. No. They are filter-feeders, sure, but I guarantee you the average fish has more "pollutants" than shellfish. Biomagnification, yo.

Edit: A lot of the bible stuff seems pretty interesting on this topic: I found this on livestock: The animals that chewed the cud and divided the hoof, such as the ox, sheep, goat, deer, buffalo, etc., because of the saculated condition of the alimentary canal and the secondary cud receptacle, have practically three stomachs, as refining agencies and cleansing laboratories, for the purifying of their food; thus weeding out from their systems most of the poisonous and deleterious matter
It's not for "refining" or "cleansing". They need multiple stomachs to digest hard cellulose, and to get as much nutrition as they can out of extremely nutrition-poor foods (such as grass).

And this on poultry: e clean bird has a stomach or gizzard with a double skin which can be easily separated. . . . Examples are the chicken, the turkey, and certain species of ducks and geese. Knowing these facts about the chicken, we might believe that the Creator permitted it to be used for food because it has a digestive system something like that of the clean beasts-a digestive system more capable of eliminating impurities from the food eaten than is the digestive system of the unclean animals.

It seems perhaps its not right because its in the bible - maybe some of the stuff is in the bible because its right?
You don't know jack about biology or anatomy, do you?

No.

Sentience does not have an IQ limit, though obviously a high IQ may be correlated.

greenpace is already at this.
hurling rotten shit to mashimaro whaling ship.

and the japanesu retun the favor with Flashbangs lol.
That's Sea Shepherd, not Greenpeace. SS and Greenpeace don't like each other very much.
