We wouldn't be eating them if we weren't so ignorant and lacking in compassion. Most of us probably wouldn't be eating them if we had to kill them ourselves, or even visit a chicken factory farm once. No one on earth actually needs to eat a chicken, nutritionally speaking. We couldn't afford to eat them (they would be too expensive) if operations like Tyson didn't treat them very cruelly-it is the only way to produce cheap chicken meat. It is your opinion that they are not to be considered on the same levels as humans, but many cultures, and different ethical vegetarian groups going way back in history, have thought differently. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

But Grainne's point is that suffering is suffering. You may not consider suffering to be on the same level, but it is not outrageous that other people might thing that.
