That's more like a gamified Rorschach test. If you need sexual rewards to decide whether you should save a human life instead of the life of unprocessed salami, you are a psychopath.
But this "unprocessed salami" can speak. Kinda puts them on level playing field.
Unless, of course, salami is voiced by Eddie Murphy, in which case it's an easy pick.
How is this a regular occurrence? Are they factory farming donkeys alongside cows for some reason? That would have no profit motive and I don't think you're talking about when a family farm's donkey dies and they sell it to be used in dog food, so I'm honestly interested in how this has become such a widespread practice.
