I don't get it.

Cosmic horror and Lovecraftian writing is just fear edging. Change my mind.

Good.

It's more than enough. You go there in person and try and kill one of those cows or chickens and watch them run away and then you tell me straight to my fucking face that they Don't have a desire to live/ not die.

Yes it is.

Speciesism is not rational. I'm assuming you would not apply the same standards to a human that had the same intelligence as a chicken?

Say we had a person with the same intelligence of a chicken. Would it be okay to milk them and use them for their milk? Or to use any part of them for ourselves? To eat them?

There is evidence. Watch them scream as they die in any documentary. Watch them try to run away as they get corralled into the death cage.

No, that is a speciesist take. We are not distinct in the ways that are most important. Among many similarities non-human animals feel pain and don't want to die. Those are the most important ways that we are the same.

Do you think humans evolved in a vacuum? We share a lot of similarities in our brains with other types of animals that also have brains.

It is not dehumanizing. Here's a quote to think on: "When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression"

Are you a fucking Psychopath? Do you not understand that people would get affected by murdering others every day, day after day? Seeing that shit affects people. Maybe not you, clearly.

Most people thought slavery was okay at a certain point in time... Just because most people think something doesn't make it right.

exploitation is abuse. People are seeing these chickens as only a means to make eggs, instead of the individuals that they are.

You're an animal too.

And yes, they are someones. They are sentient. Each individual has personality. Whether people acknowledge that or not does not make it not true.
