If you wanted this thread to be full of chicken lovers who didn't care to voice their opinions, then maybe you shouldn't have started it with a contention ( i.e. trying to prove that chickens are smart). Maybe you should make a thread called chicken lovers and you can all talk about how...
...because it's red? Does that sound like intelligence or sweet, not tortuous behavior?
Also, if my natural food source is a type of meat... and *I* pick a pig up and start chucking it around and having fun "playing" with it, is that torture, or is it someone playing with its natural food...
Well, instead of taking to you then, should I go ask a chicken? Lol
Before stating that as a fact, maybe you should do some research on the different parts of our brains and the amount of information we can store inside them compared to a chicken. Sure, they know what predators look like WHEN...
Well, in any case, if I do eat meat... I want the animal to have had a VERY good, peaceful life. I am not happy with the way animals are treated in factories. Figured I should point that out.
I think it's hard to compare a human to an animal. I believe we, too, have instincts, but as humans...
Also, I don't think chickens are really that smart. I think it's more animalistic instincts that aid them in living their daily lives. Do you have any research to back up that chickens are smarter than dolphins?
You didn't seem too bothered by the conversation you had awhile ago. ;)
I like eating meat. I think humans are better off eating meat than being vegetarian or vegan. Now, maybe there are reasons to change what kind of meat you're eating... but I don't think there are very good reasons to be vegan.
Clematis got up, and began her search for food. There was no other cat in sight, so she had to do this on her own. This would be the first time she had to catch her own food, and then she remembered how lovely it would have been if her owner hadn't of died. If Clematis could just lie in her...
Clematis suddenly felt that he had enough strength to get up and find something to eat. He slowly grasped the rock with his rugged claws and pulled himself up.
