Kettle of fish has just left Hobbiton.

The vittles theory and the rooster theory do not necessarily prove that the chicken is ruled by such base instincts as gluttony and lust. Surely, it is possibly for the chicken to seek food for simple means of survival, and a mate simply to procreate. In fact, this may be the chicken's destiny - to eat so as to survive, and to mate so as to continue a long line of chickens that will eventually lead to the birth of one chicken that will lead them all to freedom.

The chicken is a noble creature, nobody debates this. The question is whether it is born enlightened or must cross the greenway to reach enlightenment (whether the enlightenment is reached with the journey or with the destination). And when considering, as pointed out earlier, the indeterminable state of the chicken's enlightenment - is it possibly to judge the chicken's silence and postulate on possible motives?
