and some people have pet pigs, chickens and even cowsI don't quite understand how some animals are for food and others not (other than taste, which is almost irrelevent with the factory farmed slurry that most pies, slices and sausages are made from)

dunno,it doesn't seem right to eat carnivorous animals. That's second-hand meat.

I'd say you could look at how many carnivores are used as food animalsbut it would be a bit of a silly argument, herbivores are a hell of a lot more docile and we can raise more of them at a time whereas for a carnivore we would need to raise animals for it to eat before eating it ourselves.
So as you were, I guess.

that's pretty much my thinking.maybe they eat cats and dogs in places where they were running wild and breeding out of control? I dunno.
I like to eat venison when they do a cull, saves wasting it if they're going to do it anyway. Never heard of anyone eating badger though.

Too many memories of reading Wind in the WillowsI think secretly everyone hated Bambi and was rooting for the hunter, it's the only explanation for venison.

I don't really remember watching BambiI think it made my older sister cry so it wasn't put on again. The same goes for Watership Down. I've never actually eaten rabbit but I rather like venison.

wellis it something that really matters?
sometimes I think this argument boils down to "You eat cow by products, therefore you should have no qualms in eating your cat. I'd quite like you to eat your cat to satisfy my sense of injustice at your apparent hypocrisy."
