I wonder if this comic is gonna actually talk about the real world issues surrounding apple products. Like their use on conflict minerals, or Foxconn’s history of detractors “killing themselves” and obscene work conditions, even by Chinese standards.
Well if you want to exact about it, which I’ve gotten the feeling you usually do, virtually all animals with a nervous system is considered sentient, since Sentience simply refers to bringing able to perceive the world around you. If you wanna talk whether or not they’re sapient, THEN you’re getting at a good ethical dilemma, since Sapience refers to the logic, reasoning and ability to think about the world similar to what humans have.
And yes there are many talks in many places about the exact Sentience VS Sapience of several animals such as certain Apes, Dolphins, I even heard one regarding Octopi once.

I can’t say for sure, but I suspect this comic’s gonna actually talk about WHATEVER THE HELL THE COMIC ARTIST WANTS TO TALK ABOUT.
Wait… unicorns aren’t real?
The unicorns are kind of a metaphore for the real world issues surrounding Apple products.
No wonder Macs are so expensive.
Not really; if you match specs they are cheaper.
Less expensive than some, yes, but actually they’re in the middle of the pack. There are some that are less expensive than Macs.
Im reading this on an iPad 2
Again, the geek in me is out.
I think faster processors is an acceptable reason for slaughtering unicorns.
Even though they’re sentient? You unethical bastard. 😛
Even cows are sentient 😛

Crows, man. Crows can think.
Raccoon too, I suspect. They’re certainly devious little bu-, er devils.
