As someone who grew up in a farm family.....genuinely, why? The history of domestication is a history of eating pets, especially when those pets are prey animals.

Because taking on a pet, an animal domesticated by humans, makes us responsible for them. We domesticated them, we made them into pets, then we took them into our homes. We made them what they are. We have a responsibility to care for them and love them and treat them right. Farming is different. Those animals were domesticated for food primarily, not primarily as pets. We still have responsibility for them, but it is different. And still, if someone takes one into their home and raises it entirely as a pet first, then I don't think they should be eaten. But if they raise it outside as a food animal but also befriend it like a pet then that's okay and I think eating it would be okay.

That is such an odd limit. What about places (even in the US) where dogs/cats are treated no differently from a cow. They are outside, they do a job, and might get some pats. Are those okay to be eaten? Why not? They were never intended to be a pet. They are always just an animal with a job that are dispensable.

That's probably fine, if they are job animals.

I mean...waste not want not.

You know what, you guys are right. I was thinking with my heart, being a cat person and having a cat and currently being in the middle of a move that is super stressful for her and being all focused on her and worried about her. I wasn't thinking things through with my head. I was reacting viscerally and then coming up with the explanation.

I've always been fine with people in other countries eating dogs. I've never considered it being done in the US, and I don't want to think about it. But I don't really have a moral objection, just a personal reaction. Sorry.
