They eat cats and you eat bird, cows, pigs, sheep, etc. What makes eating a cat worse than eating a cow or a bird?

Although birds are also pets many times, cats are much more perceived and FELT as such, therefore, there's an emotional significance linked to them...that's why it's tougher to see cats being treated in such a way, it's the emotional tie. Same reason why we draw a line at not eating other humans...it's the perception and feeling that it's not just "mere" animals we're dealing with, that they're much more than just that.
So it's normal to kill cows for hamburgers and leather cellphone holders. Then how many fishes die in the aquarium tanks due to the owners' fault? Let's complain about what people do outside our country....
American emotional ties are not the problems of the rest of the world. In some countries the cow is sacred. In others, they don't eat pigs. Some people do believe that we should only eat vegetation. I'm increasingly put off by eating meat and do believe that I'll become a vegatarian this year.
the snake got slowly gutted while still alive....
American emotional ties? Who's talking about that?
Okidoki...

YOU ARE......
It's the "american" bit I fail to see mentioned in my post sweetness, yet you brought it up...for some reason.
Killing "humanely" is an oxymoron to me. The bottom line is that meat ends up in your mouth and in your stomach. Why are you so concerned about the pain the animal went through if the end result is its consumption? In the wild, animals are eaten alive constantly. Do you want to go out in the wild and "humanely" kill every gazelle and zeebra before they're eaten by lions and hyenas? Do you eat lobster? They're put in the pot living. Pigs and cows are slaughtered by being cut and bleeding to death. I read pigs are dunked in a tank of hot water. If they aren't already dead they drown to death. I just don't like how Asians were singled out when anyone who eats meat is in the same position. Just because you don't actually kill your food it doesn't make you better than the people in that clip. Somebody killed your meat before you ate it.
You must truly want to believe there is no difference as the difference is quite clear. The difference is akin to euthanising somebody by having them die in their sleep or cutting them into tiny bits or burning them alive and having them die a painful death. The method employed for how something meets (or meats) its end is very important. There IS a difference in how you kill something. Purposely making something needlessly suffer is a COMPLETELY different thing than purely eating something because it provides the nutrients that your body needs. They aren't even close to each other.
Also, no, I don't eat lobster. I find the way they are cooked alive disgusting as well. And yes, I could consider myself "better" if I wanted to. I'm not that naive, but the argument could be made that I don't go out with intent or enough lack of caring to make the animal suffer purposely. It could also be made for many mass markets being "better" than this one. Though many mass markets obviously are not too concerned with the animal's pain, which unfortunately still leads to animals suffering in every market, most of them don't go out with the sole intent of keeping the animal ALIVE throughout all of the processing. This doesn't just apply to the Asian market, it applies to any market that treats the animals in that fashion.
