Is it wrong to eat cats/dogs/dolphins? In the East they don't think so......

Okay, first of all dolphins are endangered so I don't think they should be eaten.  However, if they weren't endangered then it's more of an open issue.  Buffalo were once almost extinct, but when we started eating them conservation took off and now they are thriving.....at least until they are made into buffalo burgers.  Cats, dogs, hamsters, and other family pets here in the U.S. are eaten with gusto in other parts of the world.  Do you judge people who eat off-limit animals?  If you are basing this on the fact that some animals are smarter than others then let's consider the pig which is one of the most intelligent animals of all and for all this it is relegated to an extra buck for bacon on your burger.
