    No. I also wouldn’t be fine if you ate other stuff that I have for purposes other than eating, like a chocolate sculpture.

    Edit: Misread. My answer is yes.

      Who said I would eat YOUR stuff? What if I purchased a puppy from a breeder (hence, my property), raised it till it was three, slaughtered it one day, marinated its meat, stuffed its ass with some of those noice spices, chucked it in the oven and served it to my kids for Thanksgiving? Would that be animal abuse?

      Let’s go a step further. Let’s start a breeding farm for kittens.

      “Meow”

      “Shut the fuck up u furball! Now get into my fryer you! Gotta keep our Kentucky Fried Kittens profitable, don’t we?”

      Would that be animal abuse? Would I be allowed to start my KFC alternative- KFK?

      “KFK- Tasty, Cute, Meow meow”

        Oh, sorry, I somehow misread your comment as “if I killed and ate your puppies and kittens”. I gotta read more careful next time.

        Now get into my fryer you!

        (That kinda sounds like you’d want to fry the animal without killing it before, which would obviously be animal abuse.)

        If you don’t abuse the animal, it’s ok that you eat kittens and puppies.

        That being said, I myself would still not want eat cat meat, because cats resemble humans too much, and because we interact with them a bit like they were human. For similar reasons I also wouldn’t want to eat ape meat, for example.

        What sort of meat someone wants to eat can’t only be as rigid as either anything but human or anything but animal. One could for example decide not to eat any mammal meat, but still eat fish and bird. Or one could not want to eat the meat of any life-form, nor exploit any life-form for their needs (how gross of you to hold trees in masses and rip off their unborn offspring!), though living like that would be super difficult as of now. It just so happens to be that many people decide that lamb meat is ok for them to eat.
