I still think it's wild that people argue about what pet it is ok to eat. I mean, I didn't really quit meat to this day and I don't really care what animal it's from. I care whether it was sourced ethically, at least up to my standards. I mostly refuse meat because of the horrible impact on the climate and because I can't / don't want to afford ethically sourced meat all too often.
I think it's wild that people can't differentiate between pets and livestock. It doesn't require a lot of emotional maturity and yet people conflate the two constantly.
I don't like dogs, does that mean I can eat them?
You can eat dogs even if you do like them, why wouldn't you be able to?
