Golden Retrievers are more of a food than Bulldogs are? Good to know.

My line is just to the right of the Golden Retriever, but it wouldn't take much social disorder for me to remove the line entirely. (Yes, I have eaten horse burgers in the Netherlands)

That’s a slippery slope from bunny to old yeller.

Yeller burgers...

Yeah, methinks this spectrum is not drawn to scale. That rabbit must be paying kickbacks to the dog for better placement. Asshole rabbits.

My line is between the golden retriever and the bunny. You know, between the carnivores & herbivores. Meat eaters make poor food.

I quite like horse, if more people knew how tasty it was...

rabbits, also tasty. can be good pets, mostly assholes. Interestingly I like sheep, ducks and chickens better than just about any horse I have met to date... they’re just so damn yummy....

I’ve eaten both rabbit and horse so... I draw the line pretty much where my survival begins.

Edit: Also that person who posted it looks like they’re an “otherkin”...

I usually don’t eat things that eat meat, but I’ve made exceptions. I’ve found bear to be pretty good, dog and cat, especially domesticated, would probably taste ok too.

I’m pretty sure I’ve eaten horse. I mean it’s just an elk without horns.

“but it wouldn’t take much social disorder for me to remove the line entirely”

Shoot, there could be a human on the far side and I’m sure some people would still say the same.

well...

A: I eat bunnies they are delish

B: and I’m likely to offend some, but I find it hard to understand the pet/food line. why we seemingly arbitrarily declared that some animals are for friends and some are for food. I’d be really pleased to find out it’s because long ago we humans tried dogs and just didn’t like the taste compared to delicious cow (probably an issue that could be solved with a decent sauce). But I doubt we did.

No kidding. Between the rabbit getting placement before the horse and the cat getting placement before the dog, this thing is all screwed up. (Pro-tip, kitties: I eat the loyal pets last ).

It all depends on how hungry I am. If the horse and I are both starving to death, neither of us will starve to death.

The rabbit is on the wrong side of the line

I guess it’s because the pet animals had a use at the time that required to keep them alive. Dogs protect humans, cat eat rats, horses are obviously useful, and so on.

Animals that eat other animals tend to not taste as good, and are way more inefficient to raise.

I like the reasoning of your first argument.

but the second, man, we are raising these meat eating pets so easily that people just abandon litters

They’re using a snapchat (IIRC) feature that became a meme for like five seconds. And they eat animals apparently, so probably not otherkin...

They have a lot of cats and dogs. But fish are underrepresented as are birds. Getting tired of this mammal-centric media.

Yeah but there is a difference between eating unwanted strays and farm-raising them.

To farm-raise them as part of the food supply you’d need to raise crops, feed those to a herbivore, then feed the herbivore to the carnivore. At which point it makes more sense to just eat the herbivores.

MonkeePuzzle > Pixel 05/25/2016 at 12:07

or the crops. which is a pretty valid argument a vegetarian made to me one day. the cost of raising even herbivores for human consumption was a substantial waste of resources compared to growing food for direct human consumption.

I said it was valid, agreed with their point, then reasoned that I thought the effort for raising my steak was worth it :D

Yeah. I have a good friend who is a vegetarian for that very reason. I admire his conviction, but like meat too much.

Or if you have a big enough pasture, raising herbivores requires very little effort. Put them in the fence and let them eat, they don’t have to hunt because grass doesn’t run away.

I’m basically doing that accidentally already. So many rabbit love my lawn :D

I’ve considered it. As a kid I remember sitting with my dad as he skinned and prepared rabbits on the farm.

I suspect I would have to be a little poorer before I considered the effort to catch and prepare my own rabbits as worthwhile. But there might come a day :D

That makes it look like padding, would look a lot less impressive if there were only one cat/dog. Also, they forgot a sheep.

I’m pretty sure I’ve been sold cat or dog by street food vendors in the ex Soviet Union. Prepared right, I’m sure they taste fine.

That’s not to say I’d eat my dog now..

for sure, there are places that eat pets. guinea pigs are pretty common fare all over.

yeah, I’m not endorsing eating your pets. just questioning how we all came ot agree that some are pets and some are food.

I wonder if you could find the breaking point, where someone would be desperate enough to cook a traditionally pet type animal for sustenance

We draw the line where tastiness starts. And that line moves sometimes.
