Is there any living creature on earth below humans that's

I'll add that I eat organs like heart, liver, tongue, etc. I don't get what people have against them. You're wasting valuable and nutrition parts of the animal, and most people's reasoning is they deem it gross without trying it. They taste good if you prepare them correctly.

peoples don't eat animals their culture consider pets

The problem is that rabbits, pigs, chickens, and fish can call be pets. Some pets are okay but some aren't. I've always assumed that dogs and cats just aren't tasty.

No. That's why we are almost on top of the food chain, the top spot being taken by bacteria.
Never heard of anyone complaining about bacteria eating everything though...

I don't really want to eat any of the great apes, or new world monkeys.

Humans are good for eating too, only females.

Why they're not threatened?

never thought about it, and its actually a scary thought that we cant do anything about it.

>Is there any living creature on earth below humans that's off limits for consumption?

No, you set the limits of consumption yourself. Even if only subconsciously through your socialization.

Those are all terrible pets. Prey species are weird. Spend some time around them, they're just abnormal in a way dogs and cats are not. Horses are the best of them, and even they go nuts. I don't know a single person who raises rabbits, pigs, chickens, and fish who doesn't consider them foodworthy.

This.
Necessity can change those limits, but living in the first world you can afford to choose what to eat and what to call pet.

Objectively, if you think there's nothing wrong with eating a pig, then there shouldn't be anything wrong with eating a cat or dog. We just don't because they are cute, and killing cute things makes us sad.

However, sapient animals should be off limits for eating, because it's bordering on cannibalism. This includes apes, of course, but also dolphins and orcas, elephants and corvids. Basically, if the animals hold an emotional ceremony for their dead, which all of those do, then killing them for food is questionable, because if there's any kind of life that is more valuable than others, it's sapient life.

i dont eat meat because im not a subhuman, but no, men are ontop of the food chain

Chicken hearts are a good meal.

I've never met a pet rabbit that I liked. I'd question how safe or healthy it is to eat stray domestics like cats and dogs, who knows what they've eaten.

I'd personally feel guilty and nauseated eating a sapient primate (pure feels) but wouldn't be against other people doing it as long as it's not threatening the conservation status. Humans are at the top or they aren't.
>>130081448
Is there any animal you eat or consider okay to eat like fish, crab, snails? Disgust aside, are insects okay to you morally?
>>130081794
Chicken hearts are great. Beef cheek stew is incredible.

>>130081157
I don't think there's anything wrong with eating cats and dogs. I just don't like the gooks that keep them in cages smaller than their bodies and boil them alive.

If it's okay to eat other sapient species, then it's okay to eat humans as well, and specifically babies, which don't have language and are less intelligent than many animals. In fact, crows are assumed to have intelligence across the board on the level of a grade schooler. And what other than intelligence separates us from food animals? That's the problem. You can't really argue otherwise without invoking feelings.

>>130081157
Gonna have to agree with this one. Unless it's literally life or death you shouldn't consume sapient life.

>>130083338
Obviously needless torturing of any living creature shouldn't be considered acceptable.
It also ruins the fucking meat as if it's natures way of saying fuck you asshole.

Could there be a distinction between killing to eat and eating what's already dead? If you take out religious doctrines, is it immoral to eat placenta or a human that's already passed away? Most people agree that it's disgusting and off limits, but is it inherently immoral? Also yes it's not wise to eat something that died of natural causes, I'm just wondering what people's thoughts are on the subject.
