Apparently SEOWriter has never seen a cat with a mouse or a bird.
Lmao to that! Cats are nasty that way. When I was a kid, we had barn cats. I was outside one day popping soda cans with my pellet gun, and one of the cats hanging with me snagged a gopher from a hole behind me. Doing his job. He batted the thing around, clawing and biting just enough to hurt, but not kill. On an impulse, I zapped the gopher with my pellet gun. The car was pizzed! He was far from done with the vermin.
Well, eating dog isn't commonplace in China - though it happens still, in rural areas, and as pet ownership becomes more and more widespread (with more affluent urbanites), one will see canine cuisine even less.
A man once told me a steak from horse meat was delicious. I think he was from Norway.
It is. So is Camel, and Zebra for that matter. There are quite a few specialty meat shops and burger joints opening across the U.S. now. I don't think we'll see cat or dog on a local menu any time soon.
Besides the coasts most of the U.S. is still open land that could be fitted to grow food or livestock. Depending on the State you live in there is much Public land still available. Most of it is in the western side of the United States.
Though the percentages of people eating meat go ever so slightly down the increases in the population mean more people than ever are meat eaters. The same goes for people, like me, that hunt for their own food.
Many carnivores kill and torture without eating it. Killer Whales, Mink, cats, dogs, all kinds of critters.
Just think about it..... Farmlamd is disappearing at an alarming rate every year. Since it's much more profitable to sell the farm to build houses and businesses. Land is expensive to purchase. Even hunters are having a heck of a time to find private land these days to hunt deer to feed themselves and their family.
With the ever increasing population in the U.S., and rapid decrease of family farms, people need to eat for survival. In 50-100yrs. from now, can you see this happening in the U.S. similar to other countries around the world?
It will never be necessary. I hear the government is already working on an inexpensive, nutritious and protein-rich meal called Soylent Green.
1. Farmland is not disappearing at an alarming rate.
2. I don't see cats and or dogs becoming commonplace in the U.S.
Are you kidding me? The pet industry has been growing by leaps and bounds...it is recession proof. People will spend money on their pets even during the worst economy. I don't know the exact statistics but I do know that most households have some sort of pet--either a dog or cat.
Also, farmland is disappearing. Factory farms owned by corporations are here, but the small farm is becoming a thing of the past.

Yes, I've seen that. But the prey is not tortured for a days or months or forced to live an unnatural life beore being led to slaughter. That's the difference. The prey that animals kill get to live a natural life before being killed.
It's just meat. Will it become common? Unlikely. Will it catch on? Possibly and hopefully.
What do you mean it's just meat. Then, it follows that you are a living, breathing, hot dog on legs.
Meat once had a face, and children.
