      Rabbit is good, horse is on the menu in places outside of NA, and the rest are dogs and cats so it’s kinda is a bullshit question. Oh, fido and mittens are on the menu if shit gets real.

      Edit: that is also nowhere near the amount of animals that have livestock/pet overlap.

        Tbf, all of these things are on menus outside of north America (assuming that’s what NA means ofc) including the cats and dogs.

        Not for the fainthearted; but googling china dog festival should put any discussion otherwise to rest (TW: dead dogs).

        Interestingly enough; the areas where you see dog and cat consumption aren’t just found in areas of complete poverty. The meat tends to be consumed either as a necessity (as you alluded to) or a delicacy; it’s never really a standard dish.

        The more I think about it though; the less I’m surprised that billionaires would eat our pets and consider it a delicacy.
