NONE of the PIs around here have ever killed their pets–they tend to be very nice to their pets. I’ve known them to go out hunting for wild pigs (which is encouraged) and roast the pigs–which is good in so many ways.

I’d just accept it. Different cultures eat different things and ours is a multiculturalist society after all. Besides, there’s lot of different countries that make up the Pacific Islands, and I doubt this is a common custom for most of them.

That said, buying/eating an animal from a butcher or grocery store is one thing–but eating something they’ve raised?? Seems a little unusual unless you live on a ranch, in a trailer or a cave.

That is just plain wrong! You don't eat your pets, you respect them just like if they were humans.
