I will withhold my opinion for now, but I do have something to add to the discussion between Monica and Unity.
Monica argues that an animal never wants to be eaten, and we can't prove the same for plants because plants can't scream or run in fear.
Most chickens are completely docile at night (the darker, the more docile). You can catch them, hang them up, and slaughter them without any struggle or even a peep out of them.
Does this mean it's okay to eat chickens, as long as it killed at at night? It's as easy and peaceful as uprooting a carrot.
