If animals could talk, would we eat them or would we all be vegetarians?

Seeing the Gieco commercials, and the online commercials for Aulani (or something like it) in Hawaii where they have singing birds and fish, not to mention Aflac. If animals could really speak to us like that with understanding, we would as people have the heart to eat them? Would it not be easy to have a conversation with a chicken then tell him, ”Well, Hank, time for you to put your head on the block….I have to, you know, it is not personal”.
