I’m not vegan or even vegetarian. I don’t eat pigs because they are very intelligent and some, like the ones in the picture, are just too cute. I will tear up some chicken or fish though. Chickens are about as smart as earthworms.
our opinions of appearance and their perceived ‘intelligence’ have no bearing on their ability to suffer; nor the unfathomable harm the animal agriculture industries are doing to the environment and our health.
The natural life span of a chicken is ten years or more. Your chickens don’t have a good life, they have at best a shitty childhood where they are not able to express their instinctive behaviours.
That you are able to lie to yourself despite so much evidence being available to you speaks to the power of carnism, denial, and self delusion.
