Whales are much closer to being extinct than most any other domesticated animal. They also don't reproduce at the same rate. The argument not necessarily that its individual life is inherently more valuable than say a cow. But to the rest of its species it is comparatively more valuable.

As a thought experiment, imagine someone killing the last member of a species. Then when you criticize them, they point out you ate chicken so you're both equal. You'd think them a moron. This is a lesser version of my example

None of this is true. It's genuinely incredible how much they indoctrinate you with bullshit over there.

And for that reason, I'm sure they're glad they're not part of your country.

>so at least we have that in common.

You're literally speaking their language. Are you ok?

Chickens can fly high enough to get into the canopy of trees. Thats where they would normally roost. Their wings get clipped so they dont fly off. The modern chicken is a distant descendant of a bird from Asia but domesticated chickens can still fly high enough that coops would have to either have really tall fences or some sort of roof enclosure. I have seen domesticated chickens that didnt have their wings clipped and they could easily get up into tall oak, maple, and pine trees.
