not very intelligent

This, in the Bhagavad-gita it is said that janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi-duḥkha-dosanudar... [Bg 13.9], but they do not know that this is unhappiness, this is distaste. They are so callous, just like animal. They cannot think that there is possibility of not being slaughtered. When they are taken in the slaughterhouse, they agree to go because they know there is no other way: "We have been made..., meant for being slaughtered." Actually that is the position. The poor animals, they have no power to protest, neither combinedly they can give you fighting to the human being. (More...)
