      Speciesism is not rational. I’m assuming you would not apply the same standards to a human that had the same intelligence as a chicken?

      Say we had a person with the same intelligence of a chicken. Would it be okay to milk them and use them for their milk? Or to use any part of them for ourselves? To eat them?
