I think what it comes down to is that some people find being "compared" to chickens is insulting because they hold the opinion that humans are "better" in some way, while other people have no problem with this way of putting things.

As pointed out numerous times before (although it shouldn't be expected that people read the whole thread, of course), more plants die when raising other animals for meat/dairy/eggs/etc. than if we just eat the plants ourselves.

There will always be death, it's impossible to live without killing. However, that doesn't mean we should kill more – I'd say we should rather focus on killing less.
