        this honestly sounds like you're saying women and chicken are the same. Shall we give them voting rights too?

        Chickens don't need the right to vote, they need equal consideration of their interests.

        if chickens were not a source of food, they would have become extinct long ago.

        I'm sure the chickens living in constant fear & pain until they're slaughtered at 6 months would have preferred not being born.

        People do not care about animals they eat but they might care about the environmental damage of the meat industry. Try a new approach.

        there are dozens of sources that say he was a vegetarian. And unlike you, that aren't asking for donations. You may be a little biased

        Or did we just point out that chicken shouldn't be discriminated against? (Hint: it was the latter)

        How, pray tell, does one discriminate against a chicken? Is it based on race, sex, height, gender identification?

        Humans in the US forcibly breed and slaughter 9 BILLION chickens every year. If we did that to dogs you would be outraged.

        But millions of dogs are held captive against their will in US households every year! Where is your outrage about that?!

        No, deciding that you have the right to torture and kill them for your passing pleasure is though.http://www.meat.org

        Just induce a coma into them before they are sentient, grow them, and then eat them. No suffering, no torture. Win for all.
