What will we do if certain animals reach the stone age?
When they start making tools like sharpening rocks or even tame fire, will we attempt to study it or do we start exterminating these fuckers because only one sentient species is allowed on this planet?

Relocate them to Mars which will probably have been terraformed by that point. Bonus - emus would be able to fly on Mars.

Every time an animal becomes smart enough to understand humans have a shitton of food and are defenseless, it gets put down. This nigga survived several shotgun hits and still kept on raiding cars and shit.
To answer your question, they will never get there and there is only one sentient species allowed on this planet.

Elephants are good candidates, but their problem is they are herbivores.
Their food is not running away, so while they could create tools, they have no reason to do so.

farming?

>> No.10290106

>>10290100
There is food all over the place.
It is easier to just move over there than to cultivate and irrigate it in one place.
Maybe if they are hit by an extreme drought, but until then no reason to waste so much energy.

Suppose we gave them a little genetic boost. Not that far-fetched considering our rate of progress in biotech. What sort of post quality would you get from an elephant, or a new caledonian crow? Elephants seem like they'd be helpful and serious and post mostly on /tg/ , /ck/, and /an/. Crows would be utter shitposters everywhere except their main board which would be /diy/. Parrots would stick to /b/. No monkeys or baboons please, they seem like really low-class assholes.

>> No.10290130

most mammals can't either. They have microbes for it. We lost our microbes because we don't eat grass.
