    It doesn’t cause suffering to end a life unless that life is aware of its fate and becomes stressed out, or if that death leaves behind loved ones to grieve. Chickens don’t grieve.

      How are you so sure they don’t grieve? They form social relationships, they defend each other, they groom each other, they cooperate. They have complex vocalisations, they warn each other even when they themselves aren’t in danger.

      Why are you so confident they feel nothing when a friend dies? why are you so confident they don’t feel fear as you kill them?
