Seen it all.

I’ve known people raise animals like goats, turtles and birds as anyone would, a dog or cat, and when the time comes, slaughter and consume them.

Oh, I’m aware. There was a big problem locally with Laotian immigrants several years back, dogs were disappearing out of peoples’ backyards. Turns out they were taking them, killing them, gutting them and cooking them.

It was widely condemned and regarded as repulsive. You appear to be glibly advocating it. I had a few acquaintances in high school and college, who affected such glib worldliness. Nobody really liked them much after a while.

Giving offense for fun will only take you so far unless you’re in government or on faculty at a university.

We live out in the country, and our neighbors raise horses, sheep, cows, goats, chickens, pigs, turkeys, ducks, etc... Our daughter occasionally feeds their livestock when the family goes on vacation.

Over the years their children have occasionally befriended a pig, as pigs can be highly intelligent and friendly, much like a dog. They had to tell their one daughter that the pig to which she had become so attached was going to the “Happy Pig Farm.”

MmmmmMMMmmmmmmbacon! My neighbor and I still use “Happy Pig Farm” as a humorous code-phrase, which means to slaughter livestock in such a way as to not traumatize the kids.
