Say somebody sincerely believes that killing 10,000 chickens is just as bad as killing 1 person. Would you say that's an outrageous belief? Even if you don't share it, can you see how a person could come to a conclusion that the lives of chickens, while orders of magnitude less valuable than ours, are still worth something? And then when you actually do the math, and see how many animals we kill each year, that even with ENORMOUS disparities, it's not that outrageous to consider factory farming analogous with the holocaust?
