Don’t worry, if cats tasted good they would be receiving the same treatment!
The amount of cruel farming practices, chemicals, unsustainable methods etc that the US uses while being forbidden in the rest of the world is inexcusable.

How do you know they don't?
By all accounts dogs taste good, but there's only a small number of cultures that eat them.
But I think eating someone doesn't need to imply causing them as much suffering as our current farming practices do
So for better or worse the line is purely arbitrary, and people's pet pig being off-limit by virtue of being declared a pet is an example of that.
I'm partially kidding, but we are afforded to have these discussions in the comfort in our home when we have an abundance of food around us available 24/7. (Speaking of mostly of developed nations)
I don't think that's true: dog meat isn't widely eaten, but enough countries do eat it to suggest it's palatable.
The bigger issue would be how these animals are bred. Are the eaten cats and dogs typically more muscular and fatter than those raised as pets?
