Reply, I am NOT confused. I was just pointing out that some species are treated royally, and some cruelly.
Within the same species, some cultures revere them, whilst others eat them (e.g horses not eaten in the UK, but are in France; Dogs not eaten in the west, but in the east; Hindus revere cows, whilst in the west they are eaten).
Even within the UK, some people keep "food" animals as pets!
