If you rear some goats(for example) for food and the goats end up loving you lots and you love the goat too, can you kill and eat the goats when it's time to eat them? How do you handle such situation, sell the goats, keep them as pet or just let them live?
Asking this question to see if what I learnt about animals-human relationship is true and can be proven.
I don't think I can imagine you established a relationship on that particular animal and you are going to eat it, I don't think I can stomach that I prefer buying goat meat if I want to eat goat meat, there's an emotional attachment between the two of you and you are heartless if you do that, let him die a natural death or let other people kill it and eat but not you.
