Well, there are people in the west that object to food like lamb, veal, and pork. Not as many as the number of people that object to eating dolphin, but they're still here. Personally, I don't have a problem with the actual consumption of any kind of meat, though I can certainly understands the protests against unnecessary animal cruelty in the farming/hunting process. Admittedly, I have very few moral or ethical objections to things that other people have serious problems with, so I'm a poor judge of this sort of thing, but I can see the logic in the various arguments made by others. As far as I'm concerned, someone has the right to believe or protest against whatever they want, as long as they're consistent about it. If meat is murder, don't just protest about the cute ones, and if murder is delicious, let people eat anything and everything, not just the meat that your culture deems acceptable. PETA should throw paint on leather-wearing bikers as well as little old ladies wearing fur coats, and it's ridiculous to look down on a culture for eating certain kinds of meat when you enjoy a bacon cheeseburger.
