I think that it is just the cruelty of the slaughter that bothers me most. If they just humanely killed these animals then it would be different.

Just like someone else said, some cultures eat dog and that is ok. Eating these animals is no different than a cow, sheep, chicken, or pig. We've just grown to have emotional attachments and we think that they now have human traits.

I think that the killing is also a little strange because where I live people go hunting. But you don't see them rounding up deer into a valley and then shooting the crap out of them.
