chickens in this game clearly and consistantly object to being squeezed, unlike the pigs, who constistantly and clearly constent to being both petted and nibbled and seem to suffer no ill consequences
i've have heard, though not experienced, that pigs can be tied up (together/seperately?) and i wonder if they still consent to this
by giving the non-human animals in the game the ability to communicate their thoughts and feelings means we can choose to which they can verbally consent to our requests of themmeans we can make choiceas well as the ability to consent but not prevent action towards them
unfortunately the game itself makes it difficult, though no impossible, to play without interacting with the non-human animals at all though doing so makes it significantlty more difficult meet general energy requirements
the non-human animals are self aware, can clearly express complex thoughts and emotions so whether they consent or not to being nibbled, squeezed, tied, milked, etc is it really necessary to have animals as a food source at all? if the developers feel it is important/necessary to have non-human animal products in their game then why not continue what they have already done? if we can harvest egg plants then why not bacon trees or chicken plants etc or at least make it possible for the animals to run away or attack in return. a chicken will sometimes say "one day we will squeeze you"
in many areas developers have done a very good job and clearly deserve recognition and praise for what they have achieved. and while there are many good points to this game they have failed at making it a game free of abuse and violence and i think it is necessary to be a truly nice game rather than a mostly nice game
i hope one of you wil reply to this
thanks
