Why would a cat of all animals be confused about which ones to eat? They are obligate carnivores.
Yeah, they totally get it. We’d eat them if we were hungry enough, same as they’d eat us. This doesn’t conflict with our feelings of love and companionship. We’re all animals here
We'd eat them if we were hungry enough
They'd eat us if we were small enough.
And the house cat has such a strong prey drive they'd likely do it for fun. I suspect when Mr. Rorschach bites on my hand he's testing the flavor.
There has been cases in the past of cats eating their owners after the owner died and nobody fed them. They do what they need to survive and I would not begrudge any animal for that. Sure it may be horrendous to see, but I'm dead so what do I care.
Do also note that dogs have been known to do the same. Cats have a lower threshold for that and are more likely to do it in general, but they do tend to wait until they're literally starving before eating a friend.
There have been cases where cats have started to eat their deceased owners and several places around the world where cats are eaten.
People are up in arms about people eating cats... Which seems kinda ironic.
To paraphrase the Coen Brothers:
It is a fool that looks for logic in the comics of the preachy vegans
How do you get "go vegan" out of this?!
It lines up exactly with other vegan talking points like that "Where do you draw the line" billboard so pretty good chance that's what they're going for.
They literally kill for no other reason than amusement.
as a cat owner, I can promise you that cats wouldn't be the confused ones
I mean, cats would certainly eat us, given the opportunity.
Yes, and they also affectionate and care about their group in some weird way. I wish people would learn from cats!
Doesn't seem too arbitrary at all.
Eh, horse meat isn't that bad
Neither is rabbit.
Rabbit is actually really testy when prepared well.
Rabbit is more food than horse because you can't ride a rabbit.
Rabbit should be right of horse. Goat and sheep the most right; there is no culture nor religion that bans their consumption. They are that important to human survival.
And some cultures eat dog, and others worship cows.
Why is your culture correct?
If needed I would eat every single one of them and not feel at all bad about it... Also why is the rabbit there? Rabbit stew is good.
There's another one like this where there's a line to the right of the duck and the text indicates it's " when I want to nail that hot vegan"
Cats and dogs both eat meat
Wild animals hunt and herbivores occasionally eat meat
So no animals wouldn't think this as they eat meat the same as us and wouldn't care at all about eating meat
So I don't get what this is trying to say at all
Edit: also forgot to add that some animals are cannibals for example chickens
Ah yes, my cat is so confused she brings me her recommendations to my step door.
I'm pretty sure it's only common to not eat cats and dogs and small birds for no other reason than because they taste bad/don't provide much food while also providing other services we find more valuable than they would have as food. Even if that service is companionship. Cats curb pests. Dogs help do all sorts of things. Even birds have uses other than simply pets.
Carnivores generally aren’t good to eat. That definitely plays a part.
I love my basil plant and take care of it, but one day I'll come along and definitely eat it
Simple. If you name it, you don't eat it. Also, most carnivores taste terrible so we avoid eating those.
We name 🐮 They're really super affectionate, smart and playful. Our cow used to watch for my dad around the time he would come back.
We bought a 4H pig at the county fair once. The kid named her Barbie. It was one hell of a BarbieQ.
I don't think it's arbitrary. I think people eat the ones that are tasty...
