It's the hypocrisy that bugs me.

I once took an anatomy course where we dissected pigs. One of my classmates refused to participate because it was 'too sad' that it was killed.

She brought a bacon dish to a study session/potluck we has earlier that week.

I enjoy eating a burger, I do not want to see dead cows though. I would probably also eat any other non-human animal that may taste good, I just don't want to get to know it or see the dead body.

[–]Dyamalos 0 points1 point ago

First thing I watched in HD shortly after getting my HDTV was a cow being slaughtered...

...It made me want a burger.

[–]StefanGod 0 points1 point ago

I watched a youtube movie on a film festival my town hosts, it was made by videos people took on one specific date (I forgot wich one), and there was one video of cow being killed, it made me shiver, but serves them wright for not being on top of the food chain...

Please link to the author's site in the OP, then to a mirror in the comments.

There's a place for all God's creatures...right next to the mashed potatoes.

[–]zelosdomingo 1 point2 points ago

It's not that arbitrary. If they are capable of serving a useful function, then they will only be eaten if some cases.

Yeah, humans are dicks.

[–]samisalwayshungry 1 point2 points ago

It's not arbitrary, it's based on taste.

[–]Dmayrion 5 points6 points ago

Dog tastes pretty good.

Dog

[–]Dmayrion 2 points3 points ago

Rattlesnake.

[–]sadcat80 0 points1 point ago

But dogs are useful.

[–]SenorSpicyBeans 1 point2 points ago

And probably availability/farmability of the meat.

[–]BurningBright 1 point2 points ago

I was hoping the last panel would be the man rocking his dog and softly whispering "You're next."

Colby gets another kind of love.

How do cats decide which ones to eat?

[–]CormanT 0 points1 point ago

Anyone interested in this thought process should check out the book Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat by Hal Herzog. Really interesting and entertaining read.

[–]polar_bear_cub_scout 0 points1 point ago

I always feel really awkward whenever I'm eating poultry in front of my parrot. Usually I end up putting him in his cage while I eat in the kitchen, or let him stay on the kitchen and move to another room for my meal.

[–]thedreday -2 points-1 points ago

Simple. If the greatgreat(...)greatgrampa of said animal helped my greatgreat(...)greatgrampa to hunt, I won't eat it. Everything else is pretty much fair game.

[–]ieGod 2 points3 points ago

Cats here I come nom nom nom.

[–]sadcat80 1 point2 points ago

They were actually useful when it came to controlling rat populations.

[–]rootsc 2 points3 points ago

So .. dogs (and wolves), birds of prey, birds used for fishing, ferrets, cats (thats right) .... pigs hunt truffles (I say that counts) also you can ride horses and elephants while hunting .. hmm what else
