If animals could talk would people still kill and eat them?!
An example: A study has found that parrots have the intelligent of a 5 year old child, and the communication skills of a 2 year old!.

That's why I'm vegetarian!. Most animals have a highly develpoed nervous system and they can feel pain as well as a human!. Speak for the unspoken!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Intelligence has nothing to do with whether an animal deserves to live or not!.
If it is ok to eat animals that are less intelligent, then it is also ok to eat human children and people who are mentally retarded!.
Besides, there are lots of different types of intelligence; monkeys can swing through trees at 30MPH without crashing, cats can pounce with precision and amazing speed!. dogs can detect smells on the wind from miles away!.!.!. animals mentally adapt to their environment in lots of different ways, so who are we to say which form of intelligence is superior!? I think the reason why most humans rank 'human intelligence' as 'superior' is merely bias - they are humans so are more likely to favour their own group!. Just like Britons are more likely to favour the UK, and Americans are more likely to favour the USA!.
To specifically answer your question:
If animals could speak human languages, I don't think many people would exploit them for food at all!. Humans value human intelligence and would respect the animals for having it, just like a lot of humans are respectful of dolphins (dolphin-friendly tuna) but have no qualms with eating a 'dumb' pig or cow!. also, the animals would be able to speak about the horrors they've been through and perhaps people would start empathising with them and stop exploiting them for food, entertainment, clothing and lab experiments!.
Of course, there are many humans who will abuse fellow humans, despite their pleas of mercy - there would still be many who would exploit animals!.
I think that if man stopped exploiting animals, he would have more respect for the other Earthlings on this planet as well - Jews were driven to concentration camps in cattle lorries - this might not have happened if the cows weren't exploited in the first place, for two reasons!.

What do you mean "if they could talk"!? They *can* talk--maybe I should say "speak"--we just can't speak their language!. And pigs are said to be smarter than dogs; go figure!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
But they don't talk and never will, so we will never know the answer to that one
