    I think it’s worth reflecting on why being human should even be a relevant metric here. That they are not human doesn’t change what they feel. If they can suffer, as chickens and other farm animals very much can, why shouldn’t we aim to prevent suffering?

    Don’t feel like you have to respond to this. I really just want you to reflect on that idea and think about it for yourself

      You see, they don’t have souls bestowed upon them by the sky daddy, so they don’t count. You fool. You absolute buffoon. /s

      This person has clearly never interacted with a bird before. These dinosaurs are clearly capable of thinking, feeling, and voicing their opinions. Of course, the same applies to farm mammals. Just because we’re… More resourceful doesn’t mean we have to subjugate everything that’s “inferior” to us. That sounds like 'ye olde “they don’t need equal rights because they’re just savages”.
