Like Morrissey once said: Meat is murder. I strongly encourage you not to look up anything else he ever said, but the man had a point with that one. Whether you're a devoted vegan or a full-on carnivore, I don't think many would disagree that the meat industry is a bit of a nightmare, and that in general humanity's stewardship of the planet Earth has been—for all the beasts that walk upon it—a bit of a mixed bag.
I doubt anyone understands this better than Jean Lima, the single developer behind Saborus, the horror game in which you play a chicken, the demo for which I just got done playing. Lima was inspired to make the game "precisely because he had a pet chicken and suffered when his beloved pet died," which led to a lot of reflection on "on the daily horror that animals that are part of most people's diet suffer."
