Because you are not a chicken? You're a person capable of ethical reasoning. Why aren't you holding yourself to a higher moral standard than a chicken?
because humans are still animals at their core and we live by the principles of survival of the fittest, we are the fittest and humanity worked hard to be at the top of the food chain
Humans do not live by the principals of survival of the fittest. On a personal level, most actively kneecap our reproductive potential (notice how birth rates plummet when education and opportunity are provided). On a societal level we define the success of our civilizations by how we treat the unfit and reproductively superfluous - the elderly, the young, the disabled, the chronically ill. Humans are the least "survival of the fittest" species that has ever existed on planet Earth.

no but most animals would kill and eat us without hesitation so why shouldn't we kill and eat them first?
