I know, Maven...I've never been around animals being slaughtered or butchered for food, though I've heard oldtimers talk about it with great nostalgia! Those people lived by what they raised, and the meat was certainly better and safer than what we buy at the supermarkets! We are sanitized from the process, getting our meats in nice plastic wrapped packages, eh! Of course, I agree with you. I could never eat a pet! but I couldn't condemn anyone for raising chickens, pigs, or beef for food.
