Sure, I was speaking hyperbole. But the differences between chicken awareness and higher mammals is profound. Blurring that is just anthropomorphizing chickens.
The critique of anthropomorphisis, doesn't really make a hell of a lot of sense, if you are comparing chickens and higher mammal's relative awareness. And what about it being blurry don't you like? I mean, it is a bit blurry if you start looking for a very smart chicken and a particularly stupid monkey.
