I guess in a bad enough situation most would eat a pet type animal.Probably not our own to start with.Then again people have resorted to canabalism in severe situations.Some aboriginals may still practice it & certainly did a 100 years ago.
But yes if you are killing ,cooking & or eating a pet be it cat ,dog or other in front of me I will attempt to kick your ass.If I think your starving maybe not.
What I would really do is attempt to get the law to enforce animal cruelty laws on you.Some years ago a man got 2 years in prison for putting a guinea pig live in a skillet & cooking it to death.
I would never hunt bear unless it was endangering people or livestock.I think even that should be limited if it is people that have moved into the bears territory.Something we wouldn't need to do if there weren't too many people. I understand bear meat is eaten by some. I think most kill a bear for the hide & don't eat the meat.

Your right it was wrong and the second dog was very rude, he did not chew his food and then had the audicity to belch afterwards. 

But they did kick the cats butt. 

OK, I am a large dog lover and find ankle biters, rat dogs,  etc...... a waste of dog food. 

But I also feel what one eats is his own wishes. Sad as it may be. So how many mexican restraunts do you feel you have eaten in that you definately did not eat something other than chicken or  cow??? Myself have no real idea. But over time their have been rumors of such. And I suppose the pet population being alaughtered (  gassed ) at the pet pound is more humane? Got me, but it could also be considered a waste by other folks of different traditions.

And so it is not illegal for a pet to eat a pet, that is considered to be natural, but not for man who was given dominion over all creatures of the earth ( it did not exclude cats or dogs ) to do with as he pretty much pleased. 

I couldn't get the insert quote to work so this is a quote Posted on: Yesterday at 01:51:14 PM Posted by: mudmanc4 
Every country,society,culture,etc.On Earth has an code of ethics of some kind & some of these are made into laws.
Whether law or just ethics or custom & not law they are forced on members of that country by the masses of that country.In most countries this is not by the  personal opinion of one person.
This would be true for the USA & a lot more people than me would kick ass on someone cooking a pet animal.That would include a raccoon or possum.Now if the raccoon or possum were a wild animal & a hunter killed them then it would be OK for them to be eaten.I guess I could even take someone eating a wild coyote.But not a domestic dog or cat.
Here is a hypothetical situation involving law & ethics:
mudmanc4 you arrive home from a hunting with your Raccoons & possums ready to cook.You still have your rifle in the gunrack of your pickup.There is a truck in your driveway being loaded with all your stuff & you're not moving.So it is being stolen.So apparently the ones taking your stuff have no ethics against stealing but I think you would.
1.Do you give them a hand & wave them good bye ?Because you can get more stuff & don't want to force your personal opinion on them .
2. Do you take your rifle out & tell them stop or you will shoot ?Then call the law to arrest them thus forcing the laws  & your personal opinion on them.
3. Do you just shoot them & wait for the law to come get the bodies?
I'm bettin it wouldn't be #1.
Would you even do the same if it was your neighbors house ?

It goes with ethics.& the right or wrong of forcing "personal opinion "on the masses.Even if that opinion would be the same as the opinion of the masses.
The ethics of being against eating a pet comes from the ethics most of the people in the USA have.I'm sure a poll would show the majority of Americans against eating pets.
I know the majority have ethics against stealing thus the laws we have against it.
So it is a comparison of is it right to force certain ethics on people.You see it is no less right to force the ethics of not eating pets on people than it is to enforce the ethics of not stealing on people.
If a person has no ethics against stealing & the masses do then they force this ethic on that person.If this holds true & it does then any ethic can be forced that the majority approves.
So that's how I got there.
You could have chosen option #1 & it wouldn't have involved anyone being shot.It must have involved your ethics to have chosen #3.
The same way my ethicical choice would be to kick ass on someone eating a pet.

Can't argue with that.
 

I don't eat dog (or at least hope I haven't) but tdawnaz hit the nail on the head right there. The problem we as Americans have with it is we are too emotionally attached to the animal to consider it food. My ex wouldn't eat rabbit because she had one as a pet when she was 6 years old.    But give me a rabbit, some seasoned flour, a pot of hot cooking oil ........ but I digress. 

Some countries have dog farms where they raise livestock for food. http://www.aapn.org/fooddogs.html

People in India have their reasons for not eating cow meat and if one of us lived there, they'd probably kick our ass (or worse) for eating a hamburger.

Me,    all of it. I like toast and jelly.

Yeah we use it to erase things alright. Future memories. 

Ok I meant jam bro.
