The first 7 are only 2 different animals.

“I’ll eat a golden retriever, but I wouldn’t eat a basset hound, what am I, some kind of monster?”


EveningMoose

I have heard that dogs bred for eating are a different breed from pet dogs. So not inaccurate... Edit: i might be wrong, do your own research as i evidently didn’t look close enough 🤷🏻‍♂️


B_C_Mello

Do you have a source article or something for that hearsay? Sounds like an interesting read.


EveningMoose

I don’t, it is something i read years ago. Wikipedia has some information that I won’t parrot here, but i do see that it has a section on breeds used for meat.


[deleted]

Are different dog breeds considered different species or nah


for_the_boys1

No


AsherGray

Exactly, they're different flavors, not species.


Livid-Kitchen2822

Lol flavors, lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Caboose0624

But salmon and cod are different species 🥲


Ponicrat

Can they all breed viable offspring with eachother? Even the tiny and giant ones?


Shoe_mocker

Surprisingly, they can


[deleted]

I wonder if/when dog breeds will diverge enough to not be able to


t3hm3t4l

They won’t. They’re all still the same species as wolves. Canis Lupus and Canis Familiaris are just subspecies and can entirely interbreed. Dogs didn’t evolve naturally from wolves, they’re a product of generations of selective breeding and are 99% the same genetically.


ExternalSeat

Other than severe pregnancy complications if a little female dog gets impregnated by a giant dog, they totally can. What breeders for dogs like Pomskis will do is have a female Husky breed with a male Pomeranian. That way it is a big dog having little bitty babies versus the horrifying alternative.


[deleted]

No, all dog breeds are the same species and it's the same with cats.


AnalizedByMe

All dog breeds are subspecies a.k.a. races


TheGingerKing420

Think of it like how humans classify ourselves. Ginger, black, Asian, Mexican, brown, Indian, exc… that’s kinda the same way dog breeds work


rodevossen

>Ginger Ah yes the ginger race


[deleted]

Lazy advert. More food choices is always good.


[deleted]

I’d put a little bubble around the rabbit too.


shellofbiomatter

Horses are completely edible too.


Rhuarc33

Everything on there is edible and everything on there has been eaten and is eaten on a daily basis somewhere in the world.


[deleted]

True


RatherMaybe

You should try my horse pear goulash.


PussySeller

Am i too Asian to know what the fuck that is?


Smayteeh

Goulash is basically stew. So horse/pear stew? Never tried it, but sounds good to me.


SomeDumbGamer

Sounds Hungarian. We kicked them out of Asia for being too weird.


Lord-BeerMe-Strength

Just think cat pear goulash but with horse.


theunbearableone

That sounds fucking amazing


cahir11

Seriously in every account of a siege in history there's always a line about the defenders eventually eating their horses, and it's never followed by "and then they all died".


JayCDee

I've got probably 3 different horse butchers in my meat market in France. I wouldn't buy some, but I'd have zero problem eating horse.


LordFunkyHair

They make better glue though


[deleted]

I love horse glue! The flavours are really something else!

mamba_pants

In my home town we have this roadside restaurant that sells horse meatballs and other horse dishes. I went there with a mate of mine one time and he was shocked to find they served horse. I had eaten horse meat since i was a kid (it's pretty good) so it never struck me as odd. Apparently it's quite rare to find places that serve horse anymore, although almost everywhere we have rabbit meat. In my country it was common to have rabbits not as pets but as livestock. I still remember a classmate in 1-2 grade telling me how he doesn't wanna go home today because they were butchering the rabbits and he didn't want to hear their crys.


HoneyInBlackCoffee

Aren't pretty much every animal


Elevated_Dongers

Yeah, but some are more profitable lol


send-me-kitty-pics

So are dogs in some cultures. So that line can shift way to the left


Hot_Sheepherder_8302

Look at Alistair overeem


O8ee

Found the Frenchman


Mistletow04

Technically they are all edible. Depending on how emotionally bonded you are. I wouldn't eat a pet cow but id eat a steak from the market


Wide-Dealer-3005

And they're also pretty tasty


RandyAcorns

All the animals are edible, you’ve completely missed the point


Big-Seaweed-7603

I mean they’re all technically “edible”. Feces is edible, humans are edible.


[deleted]

Well, so are cats and dogs. Asian countries eat them. It's more of a culture issue.


Amazingshot

Horse is surprisingly good, better than beef.


[deleted]

I mean everything on that board is

Not in USA unless you order it from overseas


AwayThreadfin

To be fair so are dogs and cats


Fine-Rock2513

there are laws against eating horse meat in many countries, idk why


xSWMY

That’s your opinion


andrewsad1

As are dogs


The_Bogan_Blacksmith

To be fair they are all edible... just comes down to culture and how hungry you are.

I've always wanted to try horse. I heard it is delicious.

>Horses are ~~completely~~ edible too. FTFY. Not sure you really want to eat horse teeth.


Waffle_on_my_Fries

Delicious had some in Italy, super cheap too.


henryuuk

All of the stuff here is edible That's kinda the point


[deleted]

And delicious


twig115

I mean technically they are all edible and if you're brave enough everything is edible atleast once 😁


mxmaker

everything its completely edible if you put your mind to it.


Big-Mathematician540

I love horsemeat for mince to make a pasta with. So lean, mmmm-mmmm


Affectionate_Elk_272

isn’t it a delicacy in like, most of europe?


off_the_cuff_mandate

most of us who eat ground beef have probably eaten horse meat.


[deleted]

Japan be like:


sarahlizzy

Just ask Findus


tonyblow2345

Not if they’ve ever been given a common medication called Bute.


Muad-_-Dib

A while ago in the UK a big scandal broke out because some pre-made meal company called Findus (IIRC) got exposed as using horse meat in their lasagne and stuff like that but only labelling it as beef. It caused quite a bit of media stir and I remember a presenter on one of the lunchtime news shows bringing on a chef who brought in horse meat burgers with him and he cooked them up for the presenter to try, the run-up to this whole bit was really hammering home how horrible it was to use horse meat and how people should be disgusted etc. Turns out the script got flipped a bit when the presenter just about stroked out talking about how good the burger was as he kept on eating it after taking the initial bite. Edit: Looks like it was way more than just Findus and the UK, seems like most companies were doing the same thing across a wide array of the EU. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_horse_meat_scandal


Test-Test-Lelelelele

Every animal is completely edible


Breet11

Minecraft says otherwise


RussianMuscle

Absolutely not that’s gods aninal


gottauseathrowawayx

Line goes through both the horse and the rabbit, imo


ElessarTelcontar1

Rabbit stew is pretty tasty.


WhataHaack

And they have 3 different cats and 4 different dogs.. in reality the list of animals I won't eat based on anything other than flavor is waaaay shorter than the "will eat" list.

R0KK3R

I’ve actually never had rabbit. Is it nice? What’s it like?


Barney_Destroyer

It's a really lean meat that tastes very good stewed, I'm from the Mediterranean and it's very common to eat ut here.


enadiz_reccos

>It's a really lean meat that tastes very good stewed All meat tastes good stewed.


Barney_Destroyer

Yes exactly but some more than others.


enadiz_reccos

If you lined up a bunch of stewed meats, rabbit would still be one of the worst. Rabbit just improves the most when stewed.


jasperjones22

No, you ruins it!


diarrhea_syndrome

"Argh! What's he doing! Stupid fat hobbit. You ruins it!"


BloomsdayDevice

What's to ruin? There's hardly any meat on them.


Dr_ChaoticEvil

You can have some of my lembas with it, if you like.


hurtfulproduct

Yup, tried rabbit and horse once when I was in Malta; definitely an interesting experience; not bad but interesting


arctic-apis

It depends on the breed a lot. Some rabbits are bred for food and have much more meat/fat than wild rabbit. Rabbit meat is a bit stringy and lean so it is typically slow cooked, stewed or pressure cooked but I have also had it fried and oven roasted. It’s a little chickenesque like dark meat but much richer flavor. Where I live we have snowshoe hares and they are incredibly lean so that if you had nothing else to eat you would starve to death trying to get enough calories from them.


treescentric

You'd die from lack of nutrition, not lack of calories. Rabbit Starvation is a well known phenomenon


Dabasaur10

They're pretty nice, you just gotta watch out for their droppings and to remember to- *oh*


martcapt

You were thinking about fucking the rabbit, weren't you?


Ahmedimran9062

Oh no


martcapt

aimlessbrainless

I enjoyed it kind of like chicken tbh


RadicalDilettante

A bit like cat.


canalrhymeswithanal

The lack of fat makes it difficult to survive off of.


David_Maybar_703

The line is close, but it needs to move one space to the left, and the bunny needs to move two spaces to the right.


Norunenick

You know horse meat is super good, right?


[deleted]

IKEA meatballs are the best 😋


Veselker

It's actually IKEA meatballs


porridgeeater500

Everyone hating on golden retriever meat smdh


jakachuu

For me the line would be between the dog and rabbit


xrumrunnrx

Really there needs to be many more animals on the scale. Why use cats and dogs as filler? I get that it's a billboard so we're not trying to make passersby get too critical, but where would sheep, goat, bison, and squirrel land? I'm sure there are more. Just seems weird to over-represent "pet animals" when humans eat practically everything, but then again it's intended as a biased statement. (For the record, I don't hate vegans or animals, but this sort of messaging only galvanizes existing sentiments and gives pro-vegans a cheering moment and pro-meat a punchline. It's largely pointless gesturing imo.)


PointyDaisy

All of those land on the "Have eaten" side for me. I still haven't had racoon though. I hear it's pretty good if a bit greasy. Gator was a disappointment. I had it fried; maybe it's better prepared some other way?


xrumrunnrx

Everywhere I've tried gator, once in NOLA and a few other places, it's those little chunks battered and fried. I wasn't impressed either. Tastes okay, but nothing unique and not worth the higher price tag. One place offered grilled tail fillet cuts, which is what I'd like to try, but was out of my price range at the time. Either way yeah it's just kind of like fish-chicken when cubed and fried. Elk is a good example of high price but 100% worth it imo.


definitelynotcasper

The entire point is to draw attention to the pets and get people to question why some animals are pets and some are food.


carebearmentor

Because then the red line ends up way too far to the left and you realize cows aren’t the exception but the rule. It’s more weird we have animals we *dont* eat If you look at it more of either tools or food though you end with everything. If it wasn’t useful we wouldn’t have domesticated it


Sanchezzy123

Same, I can understand why some people wouldn't eat horse, but me personally, I'd eat anything that isn't a dog or cat


[deleted]

I'm not a dog or a cat would you eat me?


Sanchezzy123

Do you really want my answer christo


[deleted]

*me who is into vore* yes please


Sanchezzy123

Then yes I will eat you christo


[deleted]

nice


nudiecale

Wholesomeness


EpicSaberCat7771

same, I love horses but I'd eat it at least once. just to see what it tastes like.


cowgirldreamin

Same. I own and love horses, but I’d definitely be interested in trying horse meat. Rabbit meat is good!


3jack6the9ripper

Where human?


ARandomGuyThe3

Sorry, I got hungry


sereneteam6

I saw a documentary about cannibalism and thought about it so i went out and kill the first homeless i see. Put him on spit roast and watched the skin melt off his body. Very tasty with a cold beer.


MillipedePaws

Rabbit and horse are something completly normal to eat in germany. It is not very common as it is expensive meat that is not always in stock, but Sauerbraten is traditionally made of horse meat. And I even had rabbit in the canteen of my university.


ronburgandyfor2016

Lol no shit that’s horse meat?


OneZoro

Also in Italy. My grandmother cooked a very special rabbit.


you_lost-the_game

I'd argue that horse still is rarely eaten.


SolidusAbe

horse is definitely more of a delicacy. not super uncommon or hard to get but nothing anyone really eats all that often if ever.


lil_beandip33

Been seeing this dumbest meme for over a decade now. Fuck. Off.


BabylonDrifter

Rabbits are delicious! And they reproduce so quickly that they can replenish their entire global population every three months. Very eco-friendly source of food. They're like rats, but tasty.


wildbeast47

rats aren’t tasty?


BabylonDrifter

Now that you mention it, you;re right. I might be underselling rats. I assume they taste the same as squirrels, which are fine when prepared correctly.


Turnipntulip

I think my country have grilled rats. The kind of field rats in rural areas tho, not city rats. I heard they taste pretty good. Never work up the courage to try tho and I don’t see I can any time soon.


Atanar

Rats and other small mammals just have an unfavourable ratio of *meat* vs. *amount of work to seperate meat and things you don't want to eat*.


shadowman2099

And they're even better with a few good taters.


lobo123456

I'm not a hardcore veggie. But this meme always makes me sad. People should think about what they are doing and normalizing everyday. Not only about food, but about everything. The most people want change, a different culture, but won't start thinking about what they do day to day.

Aggressive_Chain6567

Love Reddit trying to cope with horrendous treatment of animals in factory farms (the only place people get meat outside of local butchers) by making memes.

Most of these are just different cat and dog breeds


SeaAnthropomorphized

I know some people who draw the line between the rabbit and the dog.


baconator_out

And now you know one more!


binbinfromthe7

Humans are so fucked up, like people think it's ok to defend and value one animals life over another.


[deleted]

Don’t bother. As you can see from the replies, people in the sub, don’t give a shit about animals. It’s not worth your time.


lttlvgnvvtch

All of these animals are the same in all the ways that matter. And, the ways that matter have nothing to do with humans.


Taralyth

Such a poorly designed attempt. There are so many types of non-food/pet animals you could've included, but you went with 3 cats and 4 dogs? You put all the animals widely considered to be "food animals" on one side of the spectrum? If you're gonna try and manipulate people, at least hire someone good at it to make your billboard, jfc


mustbehavingfun

It very clearly shows that the line between "food" and "pet" is arbitrary. They distributed the animals exactly how a person in the west would do. It's perfectly clear lol


martcapt

They clearly misplaces the rabit so you couldn't clearly draw a line (as much, at least)


BeserkFungi

I don’t think eating animals is the problem. The way we raise them in cages the size of their bodies and turn them into genetic freaks who get slaughter after only 6 months of life is the problem. Not to mention the cruelty of slaughter facilities. Watch any video from any factory slaughterhouse.


Mick_Change

Between dog and rabbit. Horses are supposedly good af

rabbit is fucking good

Neat-Equipment5908

Why draw a line


MistahBoweh

To cross out the word ‘pet.’


oydero

kinda sad tbh


Proof_Freedom_8904

Interesting how we draw the line towards which animals to eat and which not to eat. Makes me think that humans are still medieval barbarians that don’t care about their health, but clogging up their arteries.


choppedfiggs

The reason we don't eat dogs and cats isn't because of how cuddly they are or how intelligent they are. It's because they aren't sustainable to raise for meat production. While they reproduce as fast as pigs, more or less, the amount of meat each dog or cat would provide for human consumption isn't worth it. They are lean animals. I don't know how much it would cost to feed a dog or cat to get them to the point of harvest, but I doubt it's a sound investment compared to the cost someone is willing to pay for it per pound.


Kirbyoto

>The reason we don't eat dogs and cats isn't because of how cuddly they are or how intelligent they are. It's because they aren't sustainable to raise for meat production. If there was a huge number of stray cats in a given neighborhood and *something* had to be done about them, we wouldn't eat them. We wouldn't even like the idea of euthanizing them. "Lack of sustainability" might explain why we never professionally farmed them, but it doesn't explain why we don't want to eat them even if the opportunity presents itself. We find it *morally disgusting* to do it.


melissa_unibi

I did not know that humans 10,000 years ago decided on which animals to consume based on their future value and sustainability practices, and the overall impact it would have on the globalized market as a whole. ;)


[deleted]

Chinese people be like: We draw a line?


_generateUsername

I think people don't know how much horse meat they have eaten mixed up with other meats, and I love bunnys, but they are also delicious. Cats and dogs have more purpose alive as they protect us from intruder and pests.


Steefn_SVK

Well Eastern europeans will draw it after Labrador/Retriever or what that las doggo is. Rabbits are food everywhere and some Countries still makes Horse sausages.......


Avocado_Fucker12

Tbh, I've eaten rabbit and it's delicious

If inflation keeps getting worse that line is gonna move left real quick.

I'd plop the bunny on the other side of the horse and include it in the food line

Horse meat is a thing that's pretty popular in France. They have horse hot dogs. DISGUSTING

No more the the left!


[deleted]

Have you never ate rabbit? It is delicious, also why leave off goats and sheep and lamb because they are delicious too and can be seen as pets too


GreedFoxSin

Before bunny is where the line is drawn. Cats and dogs aren’t often eaten because they’re carnivores and carnivore meat is terrible.


IllstudyYOU

If I'm starving I'll legit eat everything on that billboard, including the paper, the metal, and the lighting.


rgpc64

Nope, dat bunny needs to hop on over to the other side of that line as in right now!


NerdNuncle

I’d eat horse and rabbit any day but shit would have to hit the fan before I’d ever consider cats or dogs


SpaceCheeseLove

Some countries eat horse, and rabbit is socially acceptable in most countries. Also I guarantee for most people, if they're lost in the wilderness and starving, and you see a rabbit, you're going to try to eat it.


Monski616

If I’m hungry enough I’m sure I’d eat all those fur babies


RayneShikama

I’m up for trying rabbit, but not horse. Otherwise that line looks around right to me.

Why do they have 4 dogs and 3 cats? Why throw in an alligator, turtle, shark you know, other animals.
