Try telling lions equines aren't part of the food chain.

LLamas have a slipt hoove and eat cud you know so I guess those would be okay to eat though they are related to camels?

But there are plenty of religeous beleifs that differ in regards to food, like cows being sacred to some so not for food. So you can't use a religeous resion to decide for all but I totaly support people making the desision for themselves based on that.

I do think it's sad for a previously companion animal to be slaughtered for food but to me it's better that since they will be put down for want of a home anyway than to have their flesh be waisted.
I also don't like Zoo's very much, these animals should not be kept captive no matter what reason.
