    We understand that chickens are intelligent birds that are capable of suffering, and we understand the horrors of animal farming perfectly well. The reality is that most people just don't care about it. The same way people don't care about the suffering of other humans when they pass a homeless person on the street without giving a second thought, or when they buy goods made by slave labor in one of the countries subjugated by the empire.

      Credulous bazingas are more likely to extend compassion and empathy to a propability-driven recitation machine than they are to a living beings that visibly and obviously experience pain and distress.

      Similar chud particle exposure is why the UAE has granted more legal protections to a gimmicky Mechanical Turk in the shape of a woman than to living human women living in the UAE. https://www.khaleejtimes.com/uae/uae-5-times-when-sophia-the-humanoid-was-spotted-out-and-about-in-the-country
