As yet I've no reason to guess that myself, but in contrast would guess
otherwise.

You presented something that does NOT make life of negative value for the
parents of broiler chickens imo. You haven't even done that little in regards to
broilers themselves or any other type(s) of creature(s) on the planet, afaik.

Probably not. It's stupid either way though. I you do believe there's
something there you're stupid for not presenting it, and of course if you don't
you're stupid for continuing to insist there is even after I've let you know I
have you figured out.

Try digging them out of this. Go:
"I have been a benefactor to this Pig," he must say, "inasmuch as I ate
a portion of his predecessor; and now I will be a benefactor to some yet
unborn Pig, by eating a portion of this one." This, then, is the benign
attitude of the Philosopher towards the Pig; and what shall be the reply
of the Pig to the Philosopher? "Revered moralist," he might plead, "it
were unseemly for me, who am to-day a pig, and to-morrow but ham and
sausages, to dispute with a master of ethics, yet to my porcine intellect
it appeareth that having first determined to kill and devour me, thou hast
afterwards bestirred thee to find a moral reason. For mark, I pray thee,
that in my entry into the world my own predilection was in no wise
considered, nor did I purchase life on condition of my own butchery.
If, then, thou art firm set on pork, so be it, for pork I am: but though
thou hast not spared my life, at least spare me thy sophistry. It is not
for his sake, but for thine, that in his life the Pig is filthily housed
and fed, and at the end barbarously butchered."
