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.

I'm seeing in some sectors, chickens evolve into this as well! People into getting urban chickens for eggs are now making them into internet celebrities, snuggling on them, they are pets. And they are NEVER gonna eat that chicken.

Well, the use may be that of a cow in Hinduism and Zoroastrianism, which is, basically, to be around, and to bless the environment. It's also a job, but one that you never outlive. I think US cats (and to a lesser degree, dogs) have kinda ascended into this realm...
