It's not really. Too often we anthropomorphizing out pets and even if they are not that different from us on the social-emotional level you cant blame for doing this - they have no concept of moral wrong of doing it. Historically, consider some human cultures not that long ago where cannibalizing your close ones was a honorable way to show them admiration (and also get the prion disease).
