European culture has that too, by the way. In parts of Switzerland, there are farmers raise dogs as pets and then eat them. In India, they don't eat cows because they feel it is wrong to eat an animal that has worked so hard for farmers. Yet here once a non-pet animal has served its purpose, goodbye, off to the slaughterhouse to become ground-up pet food and fertilizer. In Western culture they used to send horses to the glue factory or meat once they can't race or work for the farmer anymore (the latter still happens). In Animal Farm they talk about
Also, keep in mind that attitudes towards pets differ. Just because someone keeps a pet doesn't mean they're in it for the familial love. For example, many people have pet goldfish and snails yet very very very few who keep them actually bond with them. Of course abuse of animals should be condemned whereever it happens.

In some parts of the world they eat their pets. For example, in Hawaii they used to raise pigs as pets and then later turn them into pork.
