Have you noticed that all meat eatting animals are not savored for human consumption?

Question

Creatures that eat fish and berries yes but, the Great Cat and Canine varieties are frowned upon, is it the Bible or doe's consuming flesh other than fish permiate the animal and add terrible taste to it's meat? I realize 3rd world civilizations eat them but that is because they are just happy to eat!

Answer 1

I've noticed that, I wouldn't say all meat eating animals though.

Tuna and Salmon are both carnivorous. Salmon are even considered Parvae which I find odd (and annoying as otherwise it's a good indicator of something being vegan.)

And yes the Abrahamic religions have restrictions on eating animals that eat other animals.

Answer 2

Nothing to be noticed about that, because it is a well known fact. That has nothing to do with any bible by the way,but is a law by nature. And be careful what you say about civilizations you know little about and how to draw conclusions. Apart from the fact, that using the term "3rd world civilizations" is wrong and arrogant, you can't throw all countries and people into one cultural pot and are certainly not in a position to state things like: "they are just happy to eat". In some countries snakes, crocodiles, monkeys etc are consumed, but not great cats. Dogs are eaten in some parts of the world, but are fed on a meat free diet. Sorry, I don't mean to sound so harsh, but it is for some people in their own safety to make fast judgements about situations they don't know and don't even care to know about.

Answer 3

It could be because meat eating animals have a lot more weaponry (claws, sharp teeth etc) to fight back with... if you were a cave man would you prefer to chase a horse or a tiger for your dinner? This "traditional"(for lack of a better word) outlook has probably continued today, which is why most animals bred for human consumption are herbivores (that and it would be easier to control a cow than a tiger)

Answer 4

Aligator is reveared for it's meat that tastes like chicken, and the would consume humans given the chance. Shark is very popular in China and some sharks do eat people. Pigs and chickens both will eat human meat as long as they are dead already (pigs will actually go for bones and all). Infact you may have eatten an animal that has consumed human!

Answer 5

I think it's mainly economic. Think about how much hay it would take to raise a single cow to be the size where you could eat it. Now think about how many cows you have to feed a large cat to get it to a size where you could eat it, and it doesn't even have as much meat as a single cow.

In some countries they are considered delicacies, and of course hunter-gatherers would eat them given the chance. But it doesn't make sense for large scale food production.

Answer 6

True only to a certain extent.

Crocodile meat is popular in China, so is snake meat etc...they eat everthing with or without legs, except for the tables n chairs.

And not parts of China is 3rd world. You been to Shanghai?

Answer 7

Cats and dogs have become so integrated into some human culture that we have...you could say bounded with them. They offer a rare compaionship that is oh so rare in the modern world. There is also a natrual respect that many spiecies share, one that is often lost when one talks about creatures from the sea.

Answer 8

There are carnivorous fish and even some turtles that are considered delicacies.

Answer 9

conspiracy against weak animals that don't eat the weaker ones. it's tragic. like, oh my god, who eats a puppy? if you check, dog food [wet] is made out of horses. and hellooooooo, no one's going to eat the puppy. see? plus they're cute.

Answer 10

i don't think it'll taste good to us, or maybe it takes too long to debone, or maybe there's too few to eat, or any of those possible things
