May I ask, why does the intelligence and sociability of the animal sway your decision, as opposed to the animal’s ability to think and feel? Where is the line that separates eating dog or pork from eating cow or chicken?

I'm not the OP you're asking about, but on a related note: I don't eat dogs because they're omnivores. I try to stick as much as possible to only eating ruminants. But that's a completely separate issue than what you were asking OP about.

Can you explain why you are okay with eating ruminants but not omnivores?

Much lower chance of getting parasites.
