1. The same reason its taboo to eat you pets or your neighbors pets. You form an emotional connection with the person and eating them seems disgusting and disrespectful.
2. The only logic behind it is to prevent the spread of easily communical diseases. Not just prions as indicated above, but parasites, which can lay eggs or live in the gut, liver, muscle, or brain.

Make no mistake when food is seriously scarce pets, neghbors pets, and people always go back on the menu.
