Exactly, wild chickens sing songs with the other animals and talk to princesses and dance on rainbows all day.  

Nothing bad ever happens to wild animals

Completely irrelevant. Following your logic slavery is ok.

Disagreeing with me proves you love hitler!

See? I can argue like a toddler too

This argument makes no fucking sense

You are perfectly able to comprehend different levels of suffering when it comes to humans, it's the exact same principle

You know you can still eat meat even if you acknowledge how bad they have it, I do it too

Pretending this is torture and chickens in the wild are as happy as can be is self serving immature nonsense. 

And not knowing the difference between a human and a chicken is moronic

Having a field full of bugs to eat with zero predators is as good as it gets for chickens.  Acting like they hate this because they want "freedom " is what happens when people who have seen too many Disney movies project human feelings onto animals

Just because you wouldn't like this doesn't mean a chicken also hates it. 

You know you can be a vegetarian and have common sense right?

Yeah, slavery is okay because slaves would otherwise be out in the wilderness. Nothing bad ever happens in the wild.

It's almost as if having an animal in captivity versus having it in wild and giving it a fighting chance are vastly different. Though for these chickens were bred for food, so they've been made by humans to live in captivity and suffer.

But it's different, because those other races species are inferior to my race species, so when I do it, it's totally different.

Comparing this to slavery and acting like this is the same thing as racism is fucking insane and truly disgusting awful.

Look up the word slavery and get educated so you stop making such a fool of yourself

I'll try to give you another perspective: Imagine you find slavery of other specifies abhorrent and refuse to support it, doesn't that make you more likely to act in the same manner towards others humans?

The underlying problem is the same, even if you value humans higher. If you think slavery should be used exklusivly for humans, just go with exploitation instead.

Slavery: is the practice or condition in which one human being is owned as property by another, deprived of personal freedom, and forced to work under the threat of violence or coercion

Human being: is a member of the primate species Homo sapiens, characterized by an upright posture, bipedal movement, and a large, complex brain that supports advanced language, abstract reasoning, and culture.

A chicken is a common type of domesticated bird raised on farms for its meat and eggs, or the meat from this bird used as food

The underlying problem isn't the same because chickens aren't slaves, they aren't people, they aren't being forced to work against their wills.

I'm sorry you morons can't tell the difference between a chicken and a person and I'm sorry you feel entitled to belittle the experience of every single person who suffered through slavery by comparing them to livestock and saying a chicken eating bugs all day in a field is the same thing as people being enslaved.

GROW THE FUCK UP

I'm not belitteling anything. And I also fully understand the differences.

Humans are animals. We share our most important trait with chickens: sentience. The ability to expierence our surroundings.

Sure we are more intelligent, but how imporant is that really? Or why should lesser intelligence mean it is fine to exploit someone? I don't think it is hard to understand why that line of thinking creates huge issues for how we treat eachother.

You simply (literally) copy what you learned while you grew up. And I get it: We get taugth about our human superiority in all aspects of society from when we are born. We are stronger so we can do with animals what we want and of someone challenges that view we need to fight against that or we belittle all those poor people that suffered in the last. Nothing new or original here.

Can you tell me on your own words why it is fine to exploit chickens even though there is no need to do so?

You grow up. It's not "adult" to justify abuse. Of any species.

Best of luck with the pathetic crybaby temper tantrums

Oh no out of arguments already? Shocking :)

u/Acceptable-Drive3781 6d ago

Seeing other species as less than you and worthy of abuse and death is fucking insane and truly disgusting and awful.

Your boos mean nothing to me. I've seen what makes you cheer.

u/SuchParsnip8070 6d ago

Well pardon me for caring about people more than chickens and respecting what actual human slaves went through enough to not make wildly insulting comparisons while having a toddler temper tantrum about how upset I am that chickens are farmed.
Good luck growing the fuck up

u/stprnn 6d ago

False premise.

You can care about both.

u/Acceptable-Drive3781 6d ago

respecting what actual human slaves went through

Doubt.

Animal abusers lack empathy, so I'm not sure you're capable.
