I think I'd vomit if I thought my pet was getting eaten by anyone, let alone myself! I still remember the panic and horror I felt when my first pet cat died, thinking of her being consumed by worms as she lay rotting in the ground! Then I remembered my husband had her cremated. Nothing was going to eat her, and I felt so relieved by that realization!
You're pretty amusing though, Mantis, and had me grinning while reading your post.
I completely agree with you on this one. I would be too heartbroken to even think at that point. I really don't see how one minute you can be playing with your pet and then the next day they die and you consider eating them? That is just ridiculous and unhuman in my opinion. Scary as well.

Animals either die from illness or "old" age; this is not the best circumstance under which you want to consume an animal. There are some odd folk in the world though who go about picking up road kill and eating that.
yes, most people who owned pets have a heart and this idea wouldn't even cross their minds. Unfortunately we have all kinds of people in this world and very odd people at that. It is just crazy and I hope that one day we will have a law against this and they will hopefully be arrested for their un human behavior! (haha).
