"They have thoughts and emotions as well as you do."

When is the last time you got a Valentine's day card from a chicken? They are not even smart enough to unionize and demand better conditions and better pay so they can afford a Valentine's day card. To be honest, I am pretty sure most chickens would spell their name wrong on the union card.
I have never had a chicken show emotion and comfort me when a relative died, but they have comforted me when I was hungry.
They may have thoughts and emotions, but their thoughts are pretty much limited to, "It kinda looked like corn, so why did it taste like a cigarette butt?"
If you were on fire, would a chicken do anything to help you out?-No, they would wait until you stopped moving and make Joie McNuggets out of you.
