"Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.” - Winston Churchill.
From sperm whales hunting giant squid to bumble bees talking to flowers, we explore animal and plant intelligence. What is natural, why we eat some animals and not others and what is our obligation and responsibility for the food-animals we eat? We explore the slippery (and emotional) slope of defining what is permissible to eat, as well as why and how our growing understanding of all life forms makes the distinction between plants and animals less clear.
