this ones a cultural argument though...
cats and dogs are only different because in OUR culture they are pets and cows and sheep ect, are livestock...
in some cultures cows are sacred and cats and dogs are meat...
would i ever eat dog or cat...
no...because to ME...that animals is a companion...
but someone from a different culture could say the same in reverse...
in peru guinnea pig is a commonly consumed meat...
in most of europe and the usa there pets...
so...slippy slope on that mind set...
Okay way completely off topic here, but your post made me think about something I saw another BYC'er post at some point...and once I read that post it has really made me think about things in a different light....
It went something along the lines of the laws in our country being unfair and that......
Its okay for me to eat a cow in front of my hindu neighbor, but its not okay for my Vietnamese neighbor to eat a dog infront of me.
I know WAY off topic here, but I now think of that post often and it helps me see things from different points of view.
