I eat pork. A pig is a very intelligent animal and certainly also can make a good pet if you would like to have one - I still prefer to have the dog as a pet and eat the pig.
I will not go around and condemn people for eating dogs and cats while at the same time I am enjoying beef and ignoring the feelings that Indians have for cows.

However, I prefer to have the animals that I eat killed swiftly and ideally without pain. If you tell me that my pork might taste better if it is tortured to death or if you tell me that a cat can only be properly slaughtered by torturing it, then I would opt out and settle for second best.
If you are torturing an animal to make it taste better, you are effectively torturing it for pleasure, i.e. for "fun" and the difference between this and a woman who stomps a cat to death because she enjoys the power-trip is somewhat marginal.
Oh... at least now I understand your psition... many thanks... Herbivores doesn't have any "fight-back" sense, and so can quickly dispatched, but carnivores... the "fight-back" is their instinct... no wonder, their slaughter is more difficult......

Well, rating delicacies is not for mere fun.. it was diffrent level... of statisfication...
Did any sane humans enjoy decapitating chickens? I guess not... but it was required to made a good KFC!
