In a Reddit post someone brought up the fact that in A Muppet Family Christmas the Swedish Chef wanted to eat the turkey and Big Bird even though they were sentient. This made me ponder...


PNQ1: In the world of the Muppets, is "Muppet" considered a separate type of species from the ordinary ones? That is, are human-type Muppets considered a different species from ordinary humans?
PNQ2: In most fictional worlds talking animals are considered to have the same rights as people. Is this the case in the world of the Muppets, or does the same hierarchy exist as in the real world (i.e. humans can eat animals whether or not they can talk)?
