Also to help packaging n shelf life. Chicken production and processing facilities are both morally and biologically disgusting.

    Ill agree that what we do to most chickens is deplorable. That said words are made by humans w certain meanings. Murder is reserved for something human and something unlawful.

    Maybe mass slaughter? conveyor belt slaughtering?

    Weird fact. Did you know a human once decapitated a chicken and it still lived for a year? Google it if you don't believe.

    That said words are made by humans w certain meanings.

    And these humans have a vested interest in making sure that a death of their own is treated differently than a death of a chicken. That human lives are somehow more precious, sacred whereas those of pigs and chickens meaningless.

    Of course this is reflected in human language. This is like excusing racism in english by "well the english made those words up w certain meanings" here is a good video about "the oppressors language" in a different context https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYpM0qF9kZY .
