Oh wow! Dogs are super smart! I’m sure he knew. Sure my quail did too. I just read some article or post or whatever yesterday about how smart quail actually are and how they can be taught to recognize colors and shapes and count and stuff so I was like oh gosh they know I killed their friends!!!
And the whole time I was butchering them I kept thinking what I would think or how freaked out I would be if I was in a cage with a bunch of other humans that kept being taken away by a giant and not returning. And especially how scared I’d be if I saw all their bodies right before I too was murdered.
I know quail probably don’t think like that but still. I swear they got more and more scared and resistant.
