thinking about eating a dog or cat actually makes me feel kind of sick. not because they are cute, but because it makes me think of a rotting cat or dog on the side of the road and it makes me want to yak.
people are very close to there cats and dogs and alot of people consider them part of there family. would you eat someone in your family? not to mention, fish are not kittens. fish are food. jesus fed starving people fish. it's one of the most told bible stories, is that not exploitation? no? i don't really know if it is. but i don't really care, fish are FOOD. but that doesn't change the fact that i don't like to eat anything that swims in a toilet.
if certain animals weren't mass produced, alot more people would be starving today. adam and eve ate animals. and i'm agnostic. if we didn't have protein we would all die. and it's not "natural" to live off protein shakes.
