Heatman Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Animals are both used as pets and food at the same time. But I believe there's a limit we should all not cross when it comes to animals that we eat as food/meat. Where do you draw the line which you're not going to cross in eating animals as food/meat?

The Blackangel Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 (edited) You’re going to get a lot of differing opinions on this, strictly due to cultural norms. For me, things like pork, beef, chicken, turkey, and other wild game are animals that are fine to eat. There are some cultures that view dogs and cats the way I view hogs and cattle. To me, dogs and cats are companions and family. I refuse to even say that I “own” a dog. They have a pulse, personality, and desires, just like you and me. Being a dog person I can’t fathom the mere thought of ever harming them for any reason. If I have to starve so they can eat, then so be it. I’ll go hungry. It does sometimes seem hypocritical to say one is ok to be used as food but another is perfectly fine to eat. I’ve gotten several domestic dog of skulls from the bone subscription that I have, as well as several cat skulls. They went straight to the vet school. I donate them because they’re a valuable teaching tool, and I just can’t bare to keep them. Dogs and cats aren’t the only animals that I can’t keep. So a good amount the skulls i get go straight to the vet school. The world is a severely screwed up place with double standards and wildly different standards. I honestly think it all comes down to culture and circumstance. Edited October 25 by The Blackangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 I'm fine with eating Chicken and Turkey. The rest are a no-no for me. Dog, cats, rabbits and other animals wouldn't make it onto my list even if I was starving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 I’ve had rabbit before. It’s actually pretty tasty. But due to so many people having them as pets, I no longer eat them. I now see them as companions, not food. My best friend has them, so out of respect for her, I won’t eat rabbit. I’ve also had frog legs hundreds of times, and even had escargot once. If you can get past the fact that you’re eating a goddamn snail, it’s surprisingly really good. Another thing I have had is sea urchin. If you like snot with sand in it, you’ll love urchin. To me, it was so nasty that I literally puked. Don’t get me wrong, I love sushi. But that shit was beyond disgusting.🤢🤮 One thing I do want to try however is rattlesnake.

I had horse meat once when I was little, but that was almost 40 years ago. So I honestly don’t remember what it tastes like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had ate pork and beef when I was a kid but in high school, I cut both out of my diet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 No red meat or white meat, huh? I know a lot of people who feel the same. I still eat both. I’m a sucker for a big greasy cheeseburger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also a sucka for a big greasy cheeseburger! Edited October 28 by Cpvr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 I eat venison and Bison as often as I can. I love them both. There's a place here that makes the absolute best venison summer sausage in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
