Are you kidding me? Wilbur was my favorite. I read that book about 1000 times! Maybe I could identify with him since I was so fat. Flicka could kiss my big white ass.

Oh, and since I haven't put in my 2 cents on what I will or won't eat, I'll eat any damn thing that tastes good. Dolphins, kittens, I don't care. I'm on top of the food chain. I would like to say I wouldn't eat an endangered animal, but if it was served to me already dead, my not eating it wouldn't exactly bring it back to life. I'll try anything once.

Well...it is something similar to cows in India and some part of China I think. Cows in India has historically been the most important helper of humans in agriculture, so the Indians developed taboos surrounding cow-eating. Many Taiwanese people now still do not eat beef, not because of some strange Kosher law but for the reason cows had been more intimate to them than other animals.

Even more than dogs sometimes. Though a few years ago dog meat was deemed illegal by the Congress.

But, hell, coming from one who will eat anything, I do not care if it be a rat or a dog. Bring them all in.

Personally, I'd wait until the kittens had grown up a bit. Not much eating on a kitten, but you get some big cats.

Well, maybe it's the same thing with kittens as it is with sheep.

Lambchops and mutton.

Kitten pie and cat steak.

Hey! My grandmother doesn't eat beef either. Supposedly she feels that it is disrespectful. Here's a cow that's been helping you plant your rice. Then after all their hard work you turn around and eat 'em. Hardly a feeling of gratitude.

Maybe that's the same thing for horses. And horses are pets for some. Could be.
