I would not have a problem with it. I just think that it would not be worth the effort.
I know that my views may be a bit different than many peoples. I do not have a problem with the French eating horses, or the Chinese eating dogs or any other culture eating something that we would consider a pet, or inappropriate to eat. If it were available to me I am quite sure that I would try it, and if I ever travel to France or China I will try it.
I believe in the separation of livestock and pets, but there can be a difference within a species. Just as people raise some rodents as pets and some as feeders. Some dogs are raised to be eaten and others to be pets. I think that to be able to eat a cow, chicken, pig, lamb, fish, deer, turkey, buffalo, duck, rabbit, or any other livestock but not a dog or a horse is hypocritical.
I believe that the only people that can make a statement about eating a living thing being wrong, and not being hypocritical in the process, are vegans, and while I respect their beliefs and what they are doing, I will never be one.
The fact is that we as humans need to consume some animal matter in order to survive. Even a vegan eats animal matter. In grain products there are quite a few incest parts, without the this it would not be possible for someone to sustain themselves on a vegan diet.
