[Quranic Reflection] Animals are communities like us

Quote:Sura 6, The Quran:
 
Sahih International

(38) And there is no creature on [or within] the earth or bird that flies with its wings except [that they are] communities like you. We have not neglected in the Register a thing. Then unto their Lord they will be gathered.

Animals are communities like us as the Quran states. Scientific studies proved that ant colonies and honey bees act in a very organized way similar to humans; or even more organized.

I believe that cats, dogs and whatever other animal out there is a member of such community; so can they understand us? what if animals have consciousness but they don't understand us, just like we don't understand them?

Still across time, humans learned how to raise cats,dogs, horses and other animals to understand some of what they are saying by developing communication techniques between both parties.

Maybe that's why the Quran prohibited eating pigs? Maybe pigs have a higher level of consciousness; it is proved too that they are similar to man anatomy wise. Slaughtering such animals might be a crime just like slaughtering dolphins or cats.

I believe that animals are communities like us; just like the Quran said

Um no.

Sorry Atlass, but there is no holy writing that explains evolution, not yours, not any in human history.

Dietary restrictions first off, are not unique to Islam. Jews don't eat pork either, some Christians only eat fish on Friday, and Hindus don't eat beef.

The most likely reason for those restrictions were that humans got sick from not properly cooking food, and the bacteria got them sick. But because humans didn't know any better, confused that illness as a god being angry at them.

The real reason one should abstain from eating anything is because a dietitian and or a doctor tell you it is unhealthy for you personally. But any animal meat prepared properly, and cooked properly wont kill you. Puffer fish are very poisonous, but in Japan they eat them. I wouldn't, but they have enough experience preparing them they are used to doing that. 

The other reasons not to use an animal as a food source would be global, in that some species are under threat of extinction. None of antiquity, not polytheism of monotheism, had any clue of modern reality.

And as far as treating pigs as pets, yes some people do. But in other parts of the world others see it as food. Just like America loves burgers but in India they don't eat beef. There is nothing sacred about humans being omnivores.
