Eating pets after they've died

I don't think I could ever do such a thing. Let's face it for many of us that would be a of cannibalism to eat a pet after it dies. Yes, most of us eat meat unless we are vegetarians, which I'm not. But I don't personally know the animals that I am eating. Somehow that removes the detachment when you know the sources of the meat. So no just the thought of doing this makes me want to cringe.
