Like I said in something I just posted a second ago, I didn't mean that plants aren't

If a child and a chicken were both drowning (I don't think chickens can swim...) which would you save and why?

I would definitely save the child. Just because I value both of their rights to live doesn't mean I don't have a soft spot for the humans.
