People eat alligator, crocodile, shark, bear, and snake, all of which are or can be carnivorous

Again, you just make a weird distinction. This isn’t even an “American culture vs Asian culture” thing. Gator and crocodile are pretty big in the southeast.

But whatever you need to justify killing a pig that has a deeper capacity for emotional intelligence than your dog does as well as stronger ability for numerical reasoning skills and independent thought

I don’t need any justification for that lol. I wouldn’t care if people ate dogs either.

I was just pointing out a traditional norm that people usually don’t eat carnivores (because they are more prone to disease and are much less efficient to farm).

Preach. The amount of mental gymnastics displayed by omnis and carnies should make it an Olympic sport. Cognitive dissonance at its finest

Wild boar are invasive, violent and destructive. Our local conservation groups practically beg you to hunt them, and boar season is 51 weeks a year. If you’re going to hunt pig, you might as well eat it. But farm raised pigs definitely taste better.

  That depends how it is prepared. Smoked and dried boar sausage is delicious.

People in place where there’s a lot of crocs around generally don’t like to eat them because there’s a non-zero chance that you’re eating a croc that ate someone you know. Farmed Crocs are the workaround, but especially across rural southern Africa, there’s as much stigma with croc meat as Americans with horse.

  So what you’re saying is cows, pigs, and chickens just gotta start eating people to save themselves

    If you don’t eat cows first, a cow will kill and eat you and everyone you love.

    Pigs won’t have the slightest problem with doing so. For feeding someone to chickens, some preparation might be needed due to the chickens’ small size.
