  • he's a dumb bird brain... she's a greedy, filthy pig... he's a disloyal dog... she's a fat lazy cow... he's a stubborn jackass... he's a cowardly chicken... so much propaganda that animal enterprise businesses use to ingrain in peoples' heads that animals are stupid, filthy and worthless with no redeeming qualities.

    If people realized how similar animals are to us in all the "good" ways, how could they ever reconcile what horrors have been perpetrated upon them & continue to participate?

  • @jacksawild : That is actualy not true at all... if all food were distributed fairly over the entire world everyone would have enough to eat. Were it not for the shitload of people overindulging in any way they can (I might be one of them). Meat is in no way a necesarry foodtype to get the worlds population enough to eat.

  • 1. Roosters will make a 'food call' even when there are other roosters around.

    2. The food call is NOT a crow, it's more of a 'chook chook' sound that increases in intensity with the perceived 'goodness' of the food.

    3. Biggest reason people want to believe chickens are stupid is so they can continue to eat factory farmed ones that live in horrible conditions, without feeling guilty. Chickens are AWESOME animals, and not dumb at all. How are they any different from your pet cat or dog?

  • what about other birds? like a humming bird. or grebe?

  • No animal is stupid. Every living thing can feel the pain that most of them go through the abuse that they need to feel from heartless people. Its horrible. One of the worst sights you will ever see.

  • mmm I'm getting hungry!!

  • @digerpaji lol XD nah

  • @batcountryrabid NO its about whether or not it tastes good
