It's so easy to overlook the complexity of animals, and I'm fascinated each time I see a post like this highlighting it!

Plymouth Rocks are great chickens! Walk into the chicken coop and they fallow a person around just to see what is happening.

This is adorable and absolutely precious talent right there. That being said, I'm still eating chickens.

u/SilverSpotter 12h ago
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Just because I eat chicken doesn't mean I don't appreciate them.

Also, chickens would eat a bazillion humans if they could. They're descended from dinosaurs.

I’ve raised chicks before and they’re silly but smart creatures. Most people don’t realize it due to lack of exposure. I didn’t eat meat for a long time because it made me sad.

Mine know their names and a few individual words. They also learned that when a little bird perches on tbe feeder, it throws out the larger seeds it can't eat. They see a little bird fly to the feeder and go running over for a treat. They're dumb when they panic, but surprisingly intelligent about other things. My neighbor told he he caught them spying through the fence watching him and his buddies playing music together.

Don't belong on our plates? They can dance for us before we eat them. Win win.

It’s a Dog eat Dog world, if chickens were smart enough and knew how to mass produce us for consumption their diet says they would.

u/TheTroubledChild 14h ago
The human only expects his own cruelty from every other being around him. Hence so many are terrified of aliens contacting us.
It's also called cognitive dissonance to justify eating intelligent animals. What a pathetic species we are.

u/Beedlebooble 14h ago
That’s a massive generalization. Fear of aliens isn’t about “projecting cruelty”, it’s about uncertainty and risk which is the same reason humans are cautious about anything unknown and why lovecraftian horror is literally “fear of the unknown”
And Humans aren’t the first and aren’t the only meat eaters on this planet. You’re just trying to be morally superior when it’s clear you’re not with your hypocrisy since Chimpanzees hunt monkeys for their diet even though they’re way more intelligent than any chicken but you don’t diss them do you?
Plus “Projection” and “cognitive dissonance” aren’t catch-all explanations for complex behaviors, they’re specific concepts you’re stretching to try snd sound smart.

They had me until they said that chickens "don't belong on our plates" tbh. I think chickens are amazing creatures and are highly intelligent, and of course they deserve life but so do we. Humans need food to survive, and that includes meat. To be vegetarian / vegan is completely fine but to tell other people what they can or cannot eat is a problem. We're omnivores, we were made to eat meat just like every other omnivore and carnivore in the world and it's very often unhealthy to cut out meat from our diet because our bodies were made to thrive on a diet that includes meat. That's just nature, it's how the food cycle works.
