Seems like at some point we should be normalizing the harm of killing conscious creatures by accounting for the complexity of their neural system.

Since the threshold for consciousness is being pushed lower and lower, who is to say that it won’t be extended to plants later?

While insects do seem to be conscious by some standards, does it makes sense to consider insect murder to be morally equivalent to chicken murder?
