“About words and what people think they mean.”
“I don’t follow.”
“Well consider the word ‘people’, for example. If I asked someone what the word ‘people’ means they would probably say: “It’s the plural of ‘person’ and a person is a human being.””
“Ok, I’m with you so far …”
“but I think that definition is incomplete.”
“How do you mean?”
“To my mind, the definition of ‘a person’ is anyone with an individual personality. Like you Chiksa, you have your own distinct personality don’t you?”
“Absolutely!”
“And you’re not like every other chicken in the yard?”
“Certainly not! I’m not bossy like Henny-Penny, or painfully shy like Henrietta.”
“So you see my point. You are not human but you have a personality and that makes you a person. That makes all animals people.”
“That’s the logical conclusion to draw, yes.”
“Which brings me to my next thought: why do people think it’s ok to eat people?”
