In Holland they do use the euthanised pets - in pet food. I don't have an emotional problem with it, apart from the fact that cannibalism has led to CJD in the past. I'm no expert! Maybe that happened because the animals in question, cows, were supposed to be vegetarian. But I'm pretty sure I heard something about human cannibals getting a CJD-like illness and we're omnivorous! Well, I'm not, heheheh.
I've always thought (and I've said it on here before) that being sentimenatal about eating cats, which I dislike, and dogs, which I love, is ridiculous. However I'm not imune to pointless sentimentalism and I consider eating whales to be barbaric. I suppoaw it's because I consider cats and dogs to be somewhat similar to cows and pigs, whereas I find whales sort of "magical". I hate when I'm reminded of my hypocrisy and double standards!
