I believe that the seperation that we have made between food and pets is ridiculous. Its an animal with bones and meat just like every other animal. I will never understand why we feel the need to project our own feelings onto animals. Its meat and bones. Its food for something. I would be willing to feed any animal to my snake, as long as it wont hurt him. We are wasting pounds and pounds of meat because as a society we have decided that we shouldn't eat our pets. People need to reconnect with their food source. People need to butcher their own animals for food. It is quite sad that we just goto a grocery store and buy meat without any appreciation of how it got there. There should be a basic rule if you can't kill it, you can't eat it.
