You'll have to tell us why it bothers you.

My own feeling?

As far as 'honesty', all life has value.
Because someone chooses to apply the term to an animal, I can't see how their love, or where they give value, means they are cheapening or demeaning it regarding children.

According to Mirriam-Webster, 'adopting' means to take by choice into a relationship, also to sponsor the care and maintenance of. There is no denying taking on the care of animals should and must imply care, assuring welfare and health.

Feeling threatened or upset by other people's feelings or way of thinking can be exhausting and often fruitless.

And ‘adopted’ can mean many things. Purchased often refers to the payment and transfer of ownership when buying an animal.
Rescuing can mean you literally grabbed a hen in the middle of traffic.
Adopting can mean you got it for a shelter or another owner or anything.

'Adopted' has several usages .

And for the one involving taking another being into care, the term need not and does not apply strictly to human beings. A dog can adopt a kitten, a cat adopt a squirrel, cows adopt lambs.

"Empathy may be at the core of this behavior, saying that one animal "may take in another to relieve its pain, hunger or loneliness." :

I think that it does make people think less of children, honestly take a look at the crap world were in its horrible, no values no morals no respect and we treat animals better or at least equal to humans I say be kind to animals but they belong outside and they have there place.. I have no problem ringing a neck of a chicken to feed my kids

I am saddened that this is how you are viewing our world.
I have cerebral small vessel disease as a result of kidney transplant in 2001, which led to high blood pressure, and resulted in a stroke in 2020. I have had to launch a lawsuit against my former employer's insurance company Blue Cross because they could not be bothered phoning my neural specialist when the got no reply to 'email fax document requests' they say they sent and denied my claim. My husband was injured at work and has been unable to work since 2008, and it was a war to get a pittance through WCB. We went bankrupt and lost our business, our vehicles, my horse, and a house. My mother has dementia and is in a nursing home, dad died of lung cancer last September, and he used to help out with my brother in Ottawa who is mentally challenged - so I look after his groceries and bills over the phone from 2 provinces away, even though most days my brain doesn't work its best and I have impaired speech, balance, coordination. I used to be a grsphic designer and a government clerk but cant now.
So I get $918 CAD a month pension, hubby gets $2200 pension and WCB, that puts us 4 grand above poverty level.
All that... and for me, it's not a 'horrible crap world' with no values or morals.
I see life as what I make it, and as much how I view it and my attitude. I have a roof over my head, family and pets I love. I totally agree that animals have their place, and I collect eggs and cull cockerels and eat them - that's what we raise them for.
There are plenty of folks who treat humans like trash, abusing, selling, worse.
There are also good, kind and thoughtful people who help others, both animals and other people.
I am glad to see kindness wherever it is given, to animal of prople.
Now lord knows we could ALL do more, and do better. But I realize I am not perfect, have my moods and issues, and it is enough for me to try my best. Some days I am in a m8serable mood and feel sick enough not to move. My goal is to try not to be too hard on myself, or others for that reason.

Edit* I don't need any condolences or pity PLEASE from anybody who reads this post, I rarrly talk or thin about these things, they just are what they are, and it's OKAY

Why does it bug me when people say they adopted a chicken? Like no u bought it or someone gave it to u, its not a human and honestly there should be a distinction between human children and livestock

Same reason it bugs me when people add unnecessary comments that do absolutely nothing to help the OP or those reading. I totally get it!
I hope you get some good sunshine and a dopamine rush. May your days get better

Animals treated as better or equal??? 136 million chickens are killed everyday compared to only about 1100 people dying of homicide. While some people do treat their animals quite well, it has absolutely no correlation with the treatment of children!! I am unsure as to why you seem to think compassion is a finite resource. To love something doesn't mean love has to be detracted from elsewhere.
I personally am vegetarian and I know it would make many people on here judgmental. I am comfortable enough with my own choices that I don't see the need to declare that everywhere. It is my personal life and I don't feel the need to force it on others. If you feel the need for validation so badly as to hijack another's post, perhaps some self reflection on your own morals may be needed
