    That’s not really a good take though. You don’t need to be intelligent or social to be worthy of the moral consideration to not be eaten. Otherwise we’d be eating babies.

      Yeah, that doesn’t logically follow. Nobody said it’s the one, singular consideration.

      You’re comparing a species of animal (whale) to the age of an animal (baby). Two completely different things…
