      And we blast the meat scrapings off their bones with high pressure water jets and mold the resulting pink slime into… more dinosaurs!

      Which is pretty fucking metal when you think about it.

          Yeah and marry me “chicken” tofu on TheeBurgerGuy on YouTube is better than any real chicken. It’s like the best cooked chicken you’ll ever have. Perfect texture and flavor! No gross raw chicken juices to handle. Happy belly and happy soul

            OK, but chickens are assholes who refuse to let me pet them.

            Every cow I’ve met has been affectionate towards even random strangers.

              We had chickens and pigs when I was a kid

              I had a favourite chicken, which I would pick up, pet and carry around
              Chicken was happy, little me was happy

              My neighbors both have chickens that love being picked up and petted. Depends on the breed.

              Also ocelots don’t like to be petted, do we need to build ocelot murder factories now to kill a few billion a year as revenge?

        What if they DID, that’d be some Blade-type tormented soul shit. Tyson CEO/chicken otherkin, he stalks the night hunting Chick-fil-A employees and praying to Devil Dinosaur for another asteroid to wipe out the apes - but he was bitten by a radioactive chicken CEO, and by day he is bound to the grey boardrooms of a meat conglomerate!
