    That said words are made by humans w certain meanings.

    And these humans have a vested interest in making sure that a death of their own is treated differently than a death of a chicken. That human lives are somehow more precious, sacred whereas those of pigs and chickens meaningless.

    Of course this is reflected in human language. This is like excusing racism in english by “well the english made those words up w certain meanings” here is a good video about “the oppressors language” in a different context https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYpM0qF9kZY .
