   Head's up: people thinking it's funny to post pets-as-food memes as being funny and ridiculous, do it somewhere else. Having been in fistfights with other kids when I was a kid about my family's food heritage, it's not funny. Most folks are posting "this is funny, how could anyone think people eat pets, that's ridiculous" -- but the consequences of repeating those jokes are real, especially for kids.

     Broke one pair of glasses, bloody noses. Kicked and punched. Racist stuff may seem funny to some, but it's brutally real to kids when you're in fistfights with other kids about it. So... you may think pets-as-food is ridiculous and funny, but it perpetuates racist tropes and some poor kid somewhere is getting in a fight about it.
