I eat meat - as far as I can see, the only difference between eating a cow, a pig, chicken, a little lamb, a bunny, a bambi, or a horse, donkey or even a dog (apart from their flavour) is our emotional reaction to the animal concerned? They all have equal rights to life and good treatment, so it's basically only our traditions and conventions that makes us think there's a taboo on eating certain flesh.

who would draw the line at eating her dogs, though...

That's it, it's the emotional attachment more than anything else. Countries like China & Korea see eating dogs as nothing unusual as much as we do eating cows and pigs.
