Yep. Sure do. we actually EAT chickens. Hard to believe, right? And we liked them better dead and cooked rather than alive and raw.
I also liked shooting rat's down at the dump. When I was working as a welder, down by the river, a couple of us would go after work to the dump next door and plink at the rats. We didn't eat them, though. But it was great fun.
Then we'd go get a couple drinks at our favorite bar. We would often shoot them, too. But in a different way. Those were good times.
So in your view, setting up live chickens on a range...then shooting them would be "plinking"
But not rats, because you don't eat rats ?
Different people hold different opinions on what plinking is. What’s the point in arguing with someone you know will just keep moving goal posts instead of accepting plinking can mean different things to different people.

But "plinking" seems to be shooting at stationary, inanimate objects - not live animals.

Unsurprisingly, that doesn't seem to have been his view at all.

shoot at (a can, bottle, or similar target).
"we enjoyed idyllic family afternoons plinking cans with a revolver"
Since when was a rabbit or a chicken "similar" to a can or a bottle ?
Those that say the plinking does include live animal shooting are just rabbit holing and moving the goal posts.
Some people love to copy and paste definitions of words to support their argument, I notice how they don't use dictionaries when it doesn't suit them.

Honestly, I think it's hypocritical of them
And moving the goal posts as the rabbit hole.
No definition of "plinking" mentions shooting at live animals.
Noun. plinking (countable and uncountable, plural plinkings) A noise that plinks. (firearms) informal target shooting done at non-traditional targets such as tin cans, glass bottles and wood blocks.
It's called "plinking" to resemble the sound a bullet might make when striking an inanimate object like a bottle or can...animals don't go "plink" when you shoot them
But of course some posters want the score little points so the go rabbit holing and move the goal posts to include animals.
Rabbit holing
Animals don't do "plink" when you shoot them.

Asks questions. Ignores answers.
Cries about dictionary definitions. Then posts a dictionary definition.
Cries about "Rabbit Holing" that wasn't. While constantly rabbit holing.
Rather than respond to others he quotes himself....
Plinking has little to do with what you're shooting at; it's an attitude while you're shooting. It's very informal, and done mostly for amusement. That you don't understand plinking, which is familiar to most all shooters, tells me you not very experienced with guns. That you think a range needs to be set up for plinking speaks volumes about your ignorance.
Really, so "plinking" didn't get it's name exactly from the sound that the type of targets that are used make, when shot ?
I mean you do know what plinking means don't you ?
Plink.

Ok if that is what it SEEMS to be to you I'm not going to try and change your mind. Others may hold a different view.
