It is a complicated issue. We designate some animals as food and some as friends. It is not fair to the food animals and we certainly do not treat them well. It is just a disturbing trend when we start eating animals that we consider to be pets.
It is a step in the wrong direction. We are trying to move towards treating farm animals better. Expanding our appetite to include pets is troubling. We want farm animals to be treated better, but people are starting to eat "pets".
It is certainly moving away from eating less meat towards eating more. I can understand why vegan is the better choice. It may take time, but the goal is to reduce animal cruelty and reduce eating animals. I like to think that many of us are trying to do better.
When I hear about guinea pigs as food, it seems like a step back.
Worse, there are no laws to protect animal in those circumstances.
