Would you eat your pet?
Food is food, right? What if your entrée was man’s best friend? Would you still eat it if it were a cat not a cow?
Most ‘civilized’ societies consume meat, but only if it is raised to die. What they eat is thought to be ‘brainless’ and ‘just food’ but is a pig any different than a cat? Socially it is inconsevable to consume animals that have been deemed ‘pets’ because they are something more than just animal, they are almost human.
Other societies, ‘more savage than ours’ eat these pets on a regular basis. They keep a dog, name him Buddy while eating one of his kind for dinner. This is no big deal, simply culture. Dogs and cats are on the menu right beside chicken.
So, how can we eat cows and pigs and chickens, but cringe at the thought of eating a cat? Shouldn’t we all be vegetarians if that is the case??
What is your opinion: Eat your best furry friend! Pets are different than cattle! Or vegetarianism all the way!!
