Somebody just did a study of chickens
by strapping tiny video cameras on them to watch them when they
thought no one was looking. Non-dominant males were observed
surreptitiously making gestures to hens, proffering choice bits of
food, but without the accompanying squawk that might lead to the
dominant cock noticing and handing out a chicken-style ass whooping.
Eating them suddenly seems cannibalistic. Because, sure, chickens
don't look much like us, and if their big cousins were still around
they'd have no compunction about serving us up with a side of slaw.
But they're sneaky. What's more human than that?
