I've been 26 years under the tofu and I do still miss it, more as a concept than a reality. I would probably be very ill if I actually ate some for real.
I accidentally had some contaminated Pringles in my mouth a month back and while the better half assured me they were only chicken flavour I correctly detected the bird corpse extract from the second or so it stuck to my tongue.
Her entire life of pecking bits on a conveyor belt while being limited to a Borg chamber like cage flashed before my eyes.
It was sad.
She never found a place to scratch the ground even before the end *sigh*.
I've the greatest respect for vegetarians/vegans if that's the way they choose to live their lives. But for me, cows, pigs, sheep, chickens are livestock. Just as Zebra, antelopes, etc are livestock for Lions. Your analogy of the chicken can easily be related to a newborn Wildebeest calf who has barely picked themselves up on their unstable legs, and along comes a lion who says thank you very much. Nature is nature and it is brutal. But there's no right or wrong as far as the food chain goes. Different human cultures denote what we each consider is right or wrong to eat. I would never eat a dog the same way a Muslim would (or should) never eat a pig. But I knew a few of them at school who'd craftily tried a bacon sandwich behind their parents backs lol.
