RE: Eating pets after they've died
Wow! I would never ever do this! It makes me sick to my stomach even thinking or contemplating something like this.
I hope I will never meet the people who actually practice this because it shows the lack of respect and human emotions in them.
It's like eating a part of your family and I would never ever suggest doing something like that. I hope people will evolve out of this horrible thinking
with time because it truly is one of the strangest and most terrible things that I have ever heard.

RE: Eating pets after they've died
Ew! Even people who keep farm animals as pets and actually live on a farm don't eat them after they've died on their own. 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.

RE: Eating pets after they've died
If the animal was a pet, I could never eat one of my pets after it died. As a teen I lived on my uncles farm and we often raised pigs for food and to sell. I remember naming two pigs "Debbie & Diane," but I knew they were not pets. It would make me sick to even think of eating a pet unless I had no other choice.
I remember when I lived on a FL wildlife compound. We had driven to town to get supplies. On the way home we found a dead turkey and took it home for the feathers. We laid it in the yard and got busy with chores, went back later and it was gone. Found out it had been cleaned and was in the oven being cooked for supper. Needless to say I did not eat the supper of road-kill. Yuck!

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.

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).

RE: Eating pets after they've died
I would never even think about eating my pet. (Congratulations on the topic Mantis, it's one of the more interesting discussions I have read.) I consider my pets to be family, and I could never eat family. As someone said before me, if someone ate their human family members, it would be less strange if they wanted to eat the animal members as well. It wouldn't matter what animal species I had as a pet either, there is no such thing as a "food" animal in my opinion.
