I think that’s normal in Canada and probably many other Western countries. People think mammals matter more individually (or like them or identify more with them), are less healthy to eat and worse for the environment to farm. It’s plausible to me that the average chicken matters more than the average farmed mammal because of how much worse chicken lives seem to be.
I started my transition to veganism by cutting out meat from mammals, too, although I think I was only starting to get into EA at the time.
