rats, (as you brought them up) are vermin in category. heck, i think they're the only living thing that the SAS are told never to eat.
And rats are the only other animal and shouldn't have the same rights on suffering
That doesn't make much sense.Why can I farm oyster animals for food and not dogs.

(oyster animals - other animals?) other countries do, we don't.
or bring it down on anyone who supports wigan. bye bye cheets64, you just got double hammered
Yep
We can't. It's against the law. Why? What's the reasoning?
It's emotional, it makes no sense. It's not based on any evidence. Other that fluffy aninimal syndrome. As shown in this thread by many outraged people (not all). The problem wasn't the act as they aren't freaked out by live rat feelings, but they are cats. That makes no sense and shows it has nothing to do with suffering or the actual act. Those that have objected to both I have no issue with. It's the double standard in the vast majority of the population and contained in our laws.
Why haven't their been massive overreaction and media witch hunts for all the rat videos on YouTube?

Supposing it was controlled in some way or we imported humans... essentially supposing we lived in a society that was able to provide humans for consumption (given that there have previously existed in history societies where mass killings took place its not unfeasible)
Why not eat humans? If you're going down the cold hard unemotional logical route....
i get your point, to an extent but the bottom line is, some animals are now domestic, some are bred for food, some are vermin.
there's health issues
There's also issues with who owns the bodie or loved ones/family left behind.
And in fact as far as I know eating humans isn't against the law in uk, but it is impossible to obtain human meat as murder is illegal., strict laws on corpse handling and disposal. All sensiable laws due to the risk involved.
It's still a pointless argument and adds nothing to this debate.

expensive to keep, dangerous to keep en mass for farming, represent a health risk if used for large scale food production, produce very little meat for the cost.
that and it takes about 16-18 years to grow one compared to months for regular domestic animals.
For the cold hard unemotional logical route there is no reason to eat people.
But there's zero reason for it to be that way. There is no reason why I shouldn't be able to bread cats, dogs for food. No different to domestic iced rabbits and farmed rabbits. It's emotional crud that doesn't make any sense and even you can't seem to defend such laws or people's reactions.
Just becuase it's the law, doesn't mean we have to agree with it, or agree that it makes sense..
I wasn't asking you to consider legal issues - there are legal issues with eating kittens too...
Why not eat humans?
there is no market for breeding cats for food here, you would be wasting your time. however, go to certain parts of china or korea and you may have a thriving business.
That provides a good argument for not going into the business of farming them certainly...
But you could provide equal arguments against farming cats for food too...
I've already said
There's a raft of health issues
Who owns the body
We are a society
Etc..
And I didn't say just from a legal side, I said those laws were legal and told you why.
So please read.
You don't have a point, it's not the same and is frankly silly. But you can't argue the initial points can you.
cats aren't human, they don't have the health issues, they arent part of our society.
If this is acceptable to some folks then maybe whoever owns Longleat should strike up a deal with Battersea cat and dogs home. They could feed the Lions some live prey for a change.
For some strange reason I think this wouldnt be acceptable though.
As for the sadistic sod who thought it would be big and impressive to feed that kitten to the snake....words fail me. Its surely done just to shock and I think that for most people who are right thinking it would have had that effect. Its on a par with these people that post up gang fights, posing with guns, Happy slapping etc. Everyones got to be seen as more "Extreme" than the next person.

yep, expensive to breed for food compared to their pathetically small volume of meat.
unknown quality of meat (does it taste nice?)
no market for it so no money in it.
for someone trying to take the cold logic approach you seem to be focusing on pure emotional views.
I would disagree there.
No market for mass farming. One small farm I'm sure you would do well.
There's a lot of people who like to try meat and we have a very diverse population, many of which from cultures that eat cats and anyof her animal they can.
definitely.
