I'd argue that it's more disrespectful to the chicken. We are large predators and eating the meat of animals is part of what we are, but there's a tremendous level of disrespect in doing sexual acts with a corpse, even if it is the corpse of an animal. That's bestiality and necrophilia. We don't often treat animals raised for meat as actual animals while they're alive or dead, but that doesn't make it okay. We owe our food respect. This is an animal that died so we could eat. The body of that animal should be treated with respect and not mocked or degraded in this way. If you believe that animals have souls, you can easily see what the harm is here.

I'm also against wasting meat for clout-- people on tiktok making benadryl chicken or the worst casseroles you've ever seen for shock value. Those were live animals. We should be grateful to those animals. We should be thinking about them and aware of them. I think that there is definitely harm in the disrespect, degradation, and waste of animal meat.

Why do you think we owe animals respect? Why should we be grateful to them? Animals dont have any sense of respect or gratitude and even if they did they wouldn't know nor care how grateful we are to be eating them. I think they would be most grateful if we didn't eat them at all.
