I don’t understand the furore of eating an animal just because it is deemed to be a pet in some situations.

Is I had me an American I keep it as a pet. Hours of entertainment I'm told.

I'm more worried about what Tiddles has been eating before I eat him - pigeons and rats

indeed my wife gets upset when I point out fussing over and cuddling 'pooh pout the cat' isn't healthy.

Poor CM!

that makes sense, I must admit though I can't quite see myself tucking into Tiddles.

If there is no scientific / ecological / health reason to not eat a particular meat then why should it matter if people do? (assuming they are not stealing next door pet & putting it in a pie)

Stop eating cats and dogs say animal rights campaigners in Switzerland - BBC Newsbeat

And why is eating cat or dog a problem anyway?

Is more a culture thing than anything else, people feel iffy at the thought of eating "pets" rather than animals that were breed purely for food, we eat a chicken so why shouldn't we eat dog, thats just mean to chickens!

nah he is a pussy he doesn't eat them!

Poor CM!

Aren't there problems with eating carnivores?

What sort of problems? Ethical or scientific?

But good point - most of the animals we eat aren't meat eaters themselves.

That ‘lamb’ dopiaza I had the other night certainly had plenty of bite.

Kittens and puppies are even more tender, not as much meat, but more tender.

Only a power crazed psychopath would eat a dog or cat.
