Most Americans and Europeans are both appalled and disgusted by the killing and devouring of what they consider "PETS"...

and would send those who do so to prisons or even kill 'those who do' for 'doing so'.....Yet, these same hypocrites eagerly consume billions of pounds of bacon and other animal flesh, with little consideration for the lives of their victims.......So....'Why a duck, but not a dog?...Why a cow,  but not a cat?...Why a chick, but not a chickadee'.....Why venison,  but....definitely not Bambi!"...or a partridge, but not a parakeet!"   SUCH IS THE PARADOX......
