Read no further, albeit interesting but the fact of the matter is, in general, fish and reptiles are food in the U.S. and dogs and cats are not.

I've been in restaurants where they serve croc/alligator meat and I'm sure some of you have seen or tasted it as well. So I think it would be mighty difficult for lawmakers to throw down something like 'animal cruelty' when it is legal to be swallowed and chewed followed with a sip of fine wine. It's the facts.

By the way, there are many countries outside of U.S. that legally dines on dogs, cats, & reptiles (including your very cute iguanas). In those countries, you can hang a cat by the neck and use it like a pinata and no one cares. Sad, but true.
