Ther are good economic reasons for not farming cats of dogs. Too far up the food chain. A herbivore converts something like 10% of its food into flesh we can eat. A carnivore repeats this process so in effect if you eat a cat you are eating 10% of 10% of the available food. Better in terms of economics to et the herbivore directly or better still to eat the vegetable matter in the first place.. Reply to this message | Report message       1

And potentially not so good in health terms too, considering what happened when cattle were fed meat and bone meal. There's often a reason behind what seem like irrational taboos and apparent superstitions which might not necessarily have been fully understood when they developed. Not always, but sometimes.

>> Why is chicken or rabbit acceptable food but not cat or dog? We tend to eat herbivores instead of carnivores (I know birds eat worms and grubs), although sea food's not on the menu in some religions. Reply to this message | Report message

>> >> Why is chicken or rabbit acceptable food but not cat or dog? > The British don't like eating their pets. Horses are in a similar position, even though herbivores. Other nations mostly do not have these prejudices. Some will even eat their own relatives. Reply to this message | Report message

>>The British don't like eating their pets. Horses are in a similar position, even though herbivores. I've ate chevaux and goat, found them tasty, although the former can be a little tough and the latter probably best well cooked in a curry or similar. Reply to this message | Report message

Saw some goats yesterday at Wimpole Estate, while taking a 2.5 year old granddaughter to see the pigs (currently her favourite animal). The goats were Bagot goats, more or less endangered apparently. Quite small, as goats go. They had a glint of what I like to think was intelligence in their eyes. I think I'd like goatkeeping, on a manageable scale. Reply to this message | Report message

>> They had a glint of what I like to think was intelligence in their eyes. >> I think I'd like goatkeeping, on a manageable scale. >> They are I have read more intelligent than sheep. They are certainly more active, and make the kind of responsive pets that will come running over for affection when someone calls. Sheep always seem to look dull and old before their time - so sad compared with their endearing liveliness as lambs. Reply to this message | Report message

In compensation it has to be said they taste better. On the usefulness of goats the council in Cromer is now using goats to keep the vegetation on the rather inaccessible cliffs along the front in control. Cheaper and more efficient apparently. Good idea unless you lost your job to a goat. Reply to this message | Report message

>>Cheaper and more efficient apparently. Good idea unless you lost your job to a goat.<< I suspect that the local Turkish/Indian restaurants will start to use the locally sourced meat. The council will then find it costs more to replace the missing workers. Unless of course you can make them breed like rabbits. Reply to this message | Report message
