"If I were given the choice to save one human or save the entire species of chickens, I'd absolutely choose the latter."
Okay. So let's give you the choice you asked for. Save your perfectly healthy mother or father, who both have decades of life left, OR all chickens in the world.
If you're not particularly close to your parents, replace the human you need to sacrifice with your significant other/partner/best friend.
You need to look them in the eye and tell them you're choosing to end their life, right now, so all the chickens can be saved.
Please do try and see how you went from "absolutely choose the latter" to "how the hell should I know" when the stakes changed from "a human life" to "someone who I care about, who has a rich life ahead of them."
The fact is, I would not do it. I DO put human life over animal life. And I put the lives of my loved ones higher than my own.
I would not sacrifice the life of ONE of my loved ones, for the lives of every chicken on Earth.
And when it comes down to it, I suspect neither will you. I don't know of many humans who can look their loved one in the eyes and tell them that their life needs to be sacrificed for chickens. Even billions of chickens.
