Yet another example of how invisible chickens' suffering has become to us. The most abused animal on the planet. This is *literally* an account of animal cruelty — this is merely fact — but it's become so normalised for certain animals we only see the amusing anecdote.

You've chosen to go on the offensive on an account that's literally about people being shit heels. Would make more sense on an account where people are trying to be good.

I believe you are making the same point as I am: the closest this poster comes to acknowledging their own shit heel-ness is in their getting away with not having to cook thanks to garlic ratio incompetence. An animal was killed, but that's entirely glossed over.

No, my point is nobody on this account cares if someone is a bad person - it's the purpose of the account

You think nobody cares if somebody is bad on this account? You might have missed the torrent of c-word abuse thrown at someone the other day because they confessed to littering.

It's literally the point of the account. People love it specifically because people are shitty.

The animal abuse is seldom the focus of the shitty behaviour, though. It's usually (as in this example) not even acknowledged beyond being a minor detail in an anecdote about other behaviour.

Irrelevant. The point is if you're getting on your high horse about it here specifically, it's not because you want people to change.

That you/people consider it irrelevant is *precisely* the point.

It's irrelevant what the focus is - it's all shitty behaviour.

Going in circles. The animal cruelty itself is never (?) presented/acknowledged as the "shitty behaviour" in question. That you think it irrelevant is *entirely* the point. You said you were offering me advice to be "polite". I sense something else.

Oh no. A GIF, presumably of somebody eating something. How will I recover, etc.

Apologies. I posted my unwanted and unsolicited thoughts on the subject to an audience that disagrees with me. I thought you'd understand.

Invisible chickens don't exist. It's a lie. You are thinking of invisible turkeys.

Possessive apostrophe after "chickens" should grammatically clear that up, but I definitely could have written it better.

Invisible turkeys are real. I know this because I don't see them all the time. Fact.

Around Christmas/Thanksgiving time, it's fair to say their suffering is also pretty much invisible
