Yes, and I also think in the US in particular, we've got a very very specific limited idea of the way we interact with companion animals, one that's evolved even over the last decades into the fur-children idea. Many people no longer think of dogs or cats as animals that have JOBS for example.

If your society views an animal like a cow or horse or chicken as something here for a PURPOSE like laying and milk and transport, it is natural to use the animal for something ELSE once it's outlived the use, regardless of your emotional connection. But we no longer USE cats or dogs.
