That argument strikes me as pure sophistry, I'm afraid. You "value life", therefore you categorize anything whose life you do
not value as "not alive"?
Doesn't a carrot have as much "right to life" as a chicken? You are claiming that one has a "right" to be alive, but the other does not? Both were brought into existance for the specific purpose of being eaten.
