Animals You Won't Believe People Eat

The Top Ten
1 Cats The cat (Felis catus) is a domestic species of small carnivorous mammal. ...read more.

Eat pigs not cats? Unbelievable. I like cats as much as the next person, but pigs deserve just as much to live as cats. You people are sick. I am so ashamed of my country, but please stop assuming that all people from that country are the same. Like if I said that all Americans are obese. I know it's not true, and neither is the rumor that all Chinese and Koreans like to eat cats and dogs. Many do, but stop with the assumptions! Back to the original topic, I hate how cats and dogs are eaten, but how is that different from pigs being eaten? They are both animals who are smart, loyal, and deserve to live.

Would you eat a pig if you were starving to death? The answer is probably yes. And how are cats any different? I hate how people are outraged and sad that cats are eaten but eat pig and cow everyday.

Cats shouldn't even be on this list, its even more said that it is in second place. I feel sad because my cat just jumped onto my chair and I reilised, people could have aten him, if he where outin the wild.

I'd never eat a cat, even if I were starving half-to-death. That would mean I care more about myself, and that isn't right

2 Humans Humans (Homo sapiens) are the most abundant and widespread species of primate, characterized by bipedalism and large, complex brains. This has enabled the development of advanced tools, culture, and language. Humans are highly social and tend to live in complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families and kinship networks to political states. Social interactions between humans have established a wide variety of values, social norms, and rituals, which bolster human society. Curiosity and the human desire to understand and influence the environment and to explain and manipulate phenomena have motivated humanity's development of science, philosophy, mythology, ...read more.

Why do we eat humans? Why do we eat animals, like pigs and chicken, and yet eating a dog is considered bad? Pigs are underrated, and they deserve to live as much as dogs or cats do.

That's called CANNIBALISM, and there's no way I'm gonna end up like Hannibal Lecter.

3 Dogs The dog or domestic dog (Canis familiaris or Canis lupus familiaris) is a domesticated descendant of the wolf, and is characterized by an upturning tail. The dog is derived from an ancient, extinct wolf, and the modern wolf is the dog's nearest living relative. The dog was the first species to be domesticated, by hunter–gatherers over 15,000 years ago, before the development of agriculture. Due to their long association with humans, dogs have expanded to a large number of domestic individuals and gained the ability to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canids. ...read more.

This is my issue. EATING DOG MEAT IS NO DIFFERENT FROM EATING PIGS OR COWS OR CHICKENS. Seeing these comments about "eat pigs, not cats or dogs! " Is really saddening. Both animals are worthy, and deserve to keep their lives. Calling this unbelievable is like saying dogs deserve to live more than pigs do. And that's not right.

This is sadly true. I am so ashamed of my country. But the basic reason pigs are eaten more than dogs is that dogs are overall cuter. Don't just like animals because they're cute. I like pigs and dogs the same. How about you?

Eating dog is not unusual in some countries e. g. Thailand or Mongolia.
EDIT:
@sarukabuyangerel
From what you say, I was obviously mistaken about Mongolia and am terribly sorry but the fact still remains that in some countries/cultures it is normal.

ewwe, nobody should ever eat our furry little friends. :( I love dogs so much, it's not fair that someone would eat them. gross

4 Rats Rats are various medium-sized, long-tailed rodents of the superfamily Muroidea. "True rats" are members of the genus Rattus, the most important of which to humans are the black rat, Rattus rattus, and the brown rat, Rattus norvegicus.

Isn't that how the Ebola outbreak started?

7 Gorillas Gorillas are herbivorous, predominantly ground-dwelling great apes that inhabit the tropical forests of equatorial Africa. The genus Gorilla is divided into two species: the eastern gorilla and the western gorilla, and either four or five subspecies. The DNA of gorillas is highly similar to that of ...read more.
8 Snakes Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes that can be distinguished from legless lizards by their lack of eyelids and external ears.

Snakes are afraid of people but they can defend themselves. That's why people hate snakes. And why snakes are eaten. Snakes are eaten by people so they get nervous and afraid. People are scared by snakes being afraid so they kill and eat snakes.

Noo that is not fair snakes should eat humans their the 3rd best thing in the world cause 1st is god 2nd is family

9 Horses

I'm an equestrian and this saddens me to the point where I had to talk to the consular in school about depression! I have a wonderful horse named Pony and I could never even THINK of eating her!

10 Ants Ants are eusocial insects of the family Formicidae and, along with the related wasps and bees, belong to the order Hymenoptera.

Get this on top 10 right now.

13 Pigs

People who eat meat purposefully turn a blind eye to the suffering and destruction regular meat causes. It's simply lying to yourself because you don't want any of it to be true, and because you benefit from the injustice. People want to avoid a moral conundrum, but the truth is: Meat is horrible for you, the animals, and the planet. And it is terrible.

How is this even on the list? Almost everybody I know has eaten pigs. I've eaten pigs. So called pig lovers like my sister eat pigs. I can absolutely believe that people eat pig.

I like pigs, and I eat them. Almost everybody eats pigs...

Pork and bacon is pigs think smarter people

14 Sharks Sharks are a group of elasmobranch fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head. Modern sharks are classified within the clade Selachimorpha (or Selachii) and are the sister group to the rays. However, the term "shark" has also been (incorrectly) used to refer to extinct members of the subclass Elasmobranchii, which are technically outside the Selachimorpha clade. Notable examples of improper classification include Cladoselache, and various other members of the Chondrichthyes class like the holocephalid eugenedontidans.

10 million sharks are killed every year from people. 5-15 people are killed every year from sharks. And yet many people think that this is not enough. They hate sharks and kill one saying that it's for the good of humanity. I'll have you know that more people kill people than any other animal. So why do people-killers end up in prison while shark-killers are sometimes praised? People see sharks' teeth and say, "That looks mean and scary! We have to kill it! " Then they kill and eat sharks. And the younger generation are constantly fed stories about how mean and scary sharks are. Next, the younger generations want to eat shark fin soup. People really aren't using their brains for good.

More sharks are killed to make shark fin soup then humans in shark attacks

Sharks are cool. Screw those humans.

15 Kangaroo The kangaroo is a marsupial from the family Macropodidae. In common use the term is used to describe the largest species from this family, especially those of the genus Macropus: the red kangaroo, antilopine kangaroo, eastern grey kangaroo, and western grey kangaroo.
