To be absolutely clear: you agree that nonhumans are probably self-aware, feel pain, and so on and so forth, and are indeed worthy of moral consideration … but for reasons not under discussion here, you are not a vegetarian? Fair enough, I guess.
Huh? What? Have you been reading my posts?? Are you perhaps confusing me with someone else...? (Though I haven’t seen anyone else here take the position you describe either...)
Yes, I think nonhumans almost certainly feel pain; no, I don’t think they’re self-aware; no, I don’t think they’re worthy of moral consideration.
Edit: I don’t mean to be harsh on you. Illusion of transparency, I suppose?

No, not really. I just read the post where you said you two agreed on facts and was confused—this is why.
Well, do you disagree WRT conclusions? Are you, in fact, a vegetarian?
Nope, definitely not a vegetarian. I think that’s a broader topic though.

EDIT: Apparently not.
