I don’t think you understand what they’re saying at all.

“This animal is sentient and doesn’t deserve to be factory farmed into an existence of nothing but immense suffering just to be my snack.”

“Yeah, but they can’t talk like me, tho…bacon”

If sentience or intelligence doesn’t affect your choices then why on earth would language acquisition make any difference?

Do you find that people respond well to this style of argument or are you just trying to look smart?

It's just a simple logical consistency check. What is smart about that comment?
