Who am I to say? Umm, just a person with an opinion, as all of us are. Killing a pig or a cow for food is quite different than trapping a cat and taking some gas and a flame to it just for a laugh. I'll make this as clear as possible... I do not support burning kittens but I do not mind killing livestock for their meat.

Wait, I can make this really easy for the rest of the thread.

Why?

(After you say it's your opinion, please leave the thread and find something else to avoid)

Torturing a cat for the lulz is just sadistic. Killing a cow provides delicious and nutritious meat. Cats are pets, cows aren't. See the difference? U mad I have an opinion?

Not mad you have an opinion. It's just hilarious that you can't see how they contradict each other in a fundamental way.

Let's take this one step further. And please actually answer my questions this time. Unless you just wanted to voice your opinion and move on.

1. If cows were pets, would you still eat them? Explain.
2. If someone killed a cat for meat, when there is plenty of beef or other meat around, would you be opposed? Explain.

I would eat cows regardless if people kept them as pets or not. As long as I can buy steaks at the store, I will. I don't know who would kill a cat to eat it. They are so small that I doubt you would even get much meat in the first place. But I personally wouldn't eat cat and I don't see a reason anyone else would if they had delicious beef and other meats around.

Excellent. Now we're getting somewhere.
So you basically view personal preference for delicious beef and other meats as the only reason for not killing other types of animals, correct?
If this is true, then it is reasonable to assume that the animal's feelings or threshold for pain or anything of that nature is of no importance, or at least falls below the nutritional value or taste of said animal, correct?

Ducks are small. Fish are small. Shrimp are small. Baby cows are small. Chickens are small.

Oh wait, pardon me. They're small aside from when they're produced to be so big that their legs can't hold them. Just so you can eat them. Nevermind, I guess they AREN'T small. Just in pain. Normally I won't make people feel bad about eating meat, but your reasoning is so incredibly illogical. I don't even know why anyone tries, to be honest.

There's just no benefit to killing a cat or a dog or something. Of the animals that are killed for food, ideally they would be killed quickly and not tortured, but their death doesn't really matter to me all that much. I just want their meat.

So by your reasoning, the only moral or ethical implications to animal cruelty are based on whether they do something productive with the body afterward, correct?
