Obvious question - chickens

[silvrsurfr7]

So we're cooking them, but can we butcher them since we can have so many but only harvest one egg?

Even if you take down the Chicken Coop, then no, you can't get chicken meat. You can only buy meat from Raccoon Inc. Plus I don't think Thunder Lotus wants to traumatize players with animal deaths.

I'm sure they can magically be converted into delicious meats instead. Don't tell me the cows are the same way...

I didn't want to kill any animals or prepare any meat, egg, or dairy dishes. I would have preferred to feed everyone plants, way to compartmentalize animal commodification and death. I actually thought the use of anthropomorphic animal characters meant the game would be a celebration of animals. The most gentle and vulnerable animals are somehow considered okay to exploit and consume, pretty disappointing.

I'm all inclusive. I'm thinking more about game theory and supply chain for inventory items. As for the anthropomorphism, I believe these were meant to be a reflection of the individuals spirit/character.

Yeah, this is what makes sense. They are not animals but spirits and spirits can take any forms. It represents who they are, who they were in their real life. It's not meant to be a "protect animals" game. Sheep still give wool, chickens still give eggs, cows still give milk.

And yes, we feed meat (unless they dislike it) to any of the spirits. Nothing wrong with that when animals eat each others in real life anyway. No animals were harmed on the boat.
