It may be that all kinds of animals are of equal value when it comes to the reasons for not killing them, but this is far from self-evident. There's a spectrum between fruit flies and the family pet. Chickens are somewhere in the middle.
If it upsets you that one dog was murdered, remember than nine billion chickens a year are killed in the US.https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1131278576215580673 …

I agree with that. I just think chickens count for something.

No, I think chickens are a bit less sentient, but their lives in factory farms are much much worse than an average dog's life.

in Asia, chickens were domesticated for cockfighting (pets!), and dogs were domesticated for food (the Chinese word for "cook" is literally a pictograph of a dog over a fire 然).

it's too bad most americans have only met degenerate farm chickens. the ones bred for fighting are smarter than dogs. it'd be like if you went your whole life and the only dogs you met were chihuahuas. probably you would think dogs are dumb and good for nothing but food.pic.twitter.com/VMSsB0tV3b

Going out on a burning longboat with 20,000 shrieking chickens to help level the karma of the dromaeosaurids.
