    Why do we seem to value some animals more than others? What if he said “strangle a puppy?”

      because time and evolution

      in some parts of the globe, we’ve grown to use dogs for tasks such as herding sheeps

      in other parts we used to have animals such cats as tokens of good luck or as “oracles”, depending on their mood

      with that in mind, some animals are more ingrained in our general society as companions rather than food

      if you get a newborn and never teach the “companionship” of dogs and cats, they will grow to consider them as food just like all the other animals

      there are tribes in africa and other locations, that eat dogs/cats just fine, and if I HAD to, I’d totally eat It too
