It goes without saying that even those of us who are going to hell will get eternal life–if that territory really exists outside religious books and the minds of believers, that is. Having said that, given the choice, instead of being grilled until hell freezes over, the average sane human being would, needless to say, rather spend forever idling in an extremely fertile garden, next to a lamb or a chicken or a parrot, which they do not secretly want to eat, and a lion or a tiger or a crocodile, which does not secretly want to eat them.Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Horses frighten me as much as chickens do, ’ he said.‘ That is too bad, because lack of communication with horses has impeded human progress, ’ said Abrenuncio. ‘If we ever broke down the barriers, we could produce the centaur.Unknown

Thus far, our responsibility for how we treat chickens and allow them to be treated in our culture is dismissed with blistering rhetoric designed to silence objection: “How the hell can you compare the feelings of a hen with those of a human being?” One answer is, by looking at her. It does not take special insight or credentials to see that a hen confined in a battery cage is suffering, or to imagine what her feelings must be compared with those of a hen ranging outside in the grass and sunlight. We are told that we humans are capable of knowing just about anything that we want to know–except, ironically, what it feels like to be one of our victims. We are told we are being “emotional” if we care about a chicken and grieve over a chicken’s plight. However, it is not “emotion” that is really under attack, but the vicarious emotions of pity, sympathy, compassion, sorrow, and indignity on behalf of the victim, a fellow creature–emotions that undermine business as usual. By contrast, such “manly” emotions as patriotism, pride, conquest, and mastery are encouraged.Karen Davis

While both these statements refer to eggs, the main difference between these two rather irking statements is this: omelets do not come from chickens — it is eggs which come from chickens. Omelets on the other hand, are an entirely Human invention. Humans being here, the ‘middle man’ as it were.Christina Engela

It was only a couple of chickens. Real chickens. The kind that walk around clucking and pecking. Which is what they were doing. Only no one else seemed to care, or even notice. This is normal? Obviously I had a little hiccup reading my notecards. Understandable. I was talking to forty orphans who had to share a dirt floor with two chickens. No one in college had ever prepared me for this scenario.Tucker Elliot

When some claim demarcation and “regulation”, others fancy “deregulation”, preferring foxes guarding the henhouse or chicken yards with free chickens and free foxes. Friend or foe, hen or fox, anyone can have a go. (“This far”)Erik Pevernagie

Nobody seems to know which came first; egg or chicken — except of course for agents of the Time Saving Agency — who can find out anything about, well — anything. The only trouble is, they aren’t talking — however, you can take it from me — they know. The answer to these and other puzzles are kept safe and secure behind fire-walls and thick security doors secured with, er — time-locks, where one could possibly find answers to many other troubling questions, and not all of them necessarily relating to chickens.Christina Engela
