    They do naturally behave like something, because they have a nature, and a tendency to behave along certain lines - regardless of whether or not we’ve bred them to be that way.

    Hens can lay eggs for a good 13 years in some cases, and can live quite a bit beyond their egg-laying days as well, without peril.

    Their peril comes when I decide “I’m going to eat that chicken.” And, I kill the chicken in a lot nicer way, likely, than you or I will die, when we do.

      Not sure what your point is, you’d rather be murdered than die naturally? It’s okay to breed individuals if you kill them quickly?

        being killed for food by a species that is incomprehensibly more complex than I am, and is also relatively humane is really not too big of a deal in my opinion. Go aliens.
