Question: Why are all animals not loved equally!?
Why are some raised as pets and some treated as food!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
All humans aren't loved equally!. All animals are different!. Animals such as dogs were once working animals which became part of the family as well!. That still exists today with sheepdogs and huskies!. They love to work, but they have a special bond with their owners!.
Animals that we eat have been bred that way for thousands of years!.
Not every country has the same feeling towards pets!. In Britain many pets are thought of more than peoples kids, but in some other parts of Europe that isn't the case!. The animal has his place at the bottom of the family, where in the UK some pets think they have equality!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Generally speaking, the more an animal can be exploited for it's affection, the more "loved" it is in the sense that it is more common to be a companion animal than a food animal!.

Chickens can't really show affection to humans, i've never seen it anyways, can't be trained!.

Cows don't really care about anything besides eating, too big to fit them in my house anyways, can't be trained!.

Pigs although smart get very, very large and expensive to feed!.

======================================!.!.!.


Dogs, smart, nimble, easily trained, can be used to aid us humans at many tasks, constantly seeking the approval of their owners!.

Cats, small, cute, show a lot of affection towards their owner, not easily trained, but at least they use a litterbox!.

======================================!.!.!.

If you can answer why you treat other people with love and respect while you would not even give a second thought to, much less invite for dinner the homeless bum pan handling at the corner, then you would have answered your own question!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think its about how cute or ugly they are!. pigs are cute when they're babies so some people don't want to eat them!. turkeys!?- not so cute!. also pigs can be okay pets!. who would want to have a pet turkey!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's how society has shaped us!. People follow what they're told is right, even if it isn't!.

In China, all animals are eaten, as that is all they know!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because we are different!. Humans > non-human animals > plants = fungi > protists = bacteria!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

In various parts of the world most animals are treated as food!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because humans are idiots and greedy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

maybe because few people have met a turkey or a pig!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

would u like a cow running around ur house!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Meat eaters treat all animals equally!. They only "love" dogs, for example, because they get companionship from them!. They also get something out of the cow, usually not the same thing they get from dogs!. It's a little bit confusing and illogical, but if you understand the difference between something having inherent value or having instrumental value it makes sense!. Meat eaters see animals as having only instrumental value, and they treat all animals equally: as means to an end!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well If It Was Easy To Have A Lion Or Endangered Animal As A Pet Then Maybe All Animals Would Be Treated Equally But Thats Not The Case!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
