I think some anti-meat activists really gloss over how humanity spent 1000s of years molding dogs + cats into companions and co-workers who pretty intuitively understand our emotions- we haven’t done this with pigs and cows. It’s not exactly shocking that many people thus don’t want to eat pets.

I mean true but it’d be great to have cow and pig friends too!

This is why we should absolutely get to work on cuttlefish and corvids if people gathered around a big pile of shiny objects and mice at night thousands of years ago we’d have hundreds of crow breeds by now

jfc is this going to be the discourse all day? Like bsky isn’t already hard enough to look at with all the (justifiable) stuff about our slide into fascism?

Agree, though I am of the opinion that the cats molded *us*, not the other way around.

Me, I'm just sitting here, waiting for lab grown meat so nothing has to be slaughtered for a hamburger...

My partner and I call our cat the baby so much that we get diaper ads.

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.

I tried horsemeat once upon a time in Italy. It was in a traditional spiced stew called pastissada, and especially in Southern Italy, it's considered very normal.

seems other nations find them delicious why do we not send our excess critters to them instead of putting them in pounds or animal shelters

Yeah, I think this is true, but the taboo does also extend to the relatives of dogs and cats who are not particularly domesticated.

This is a huge digression but when you manage systems at scale, "cattle, not pets" is a mantra used when discussing naming schemes. At a certain point you need servers to be 100% replacable and if you give them unique names they end up sticking around when they shouldn't.
