Here in Philippines, Cows were eaten.
Pigs were also eaten but there are some people especially the muslims, they do not eat pigs. We all know that dogs is a man's bestfriend. It safeguard our house against thief.
Yes we are the same question @writebackwards . In my opinion, that is already their life, as an animal. That is part of the nature as what my teacher said. But here in Philippines, if ever there is a person who will try to abuse for instance cows and dog, it will be dragged to jail.
