A parrot mimics language but doesn't speak it.
What’s the difference?
They don't understand language. They can't consent. Like a baby the mimics words and we cheer when they get it right, but parrots never understand the words. Same with gorillas.
Are you saying we shouldn’t eat babies?
No,
Wait, we shouldn’t eat them or you’re not saying that?
are you saying we shouldn't milk gorillas
