I have thought there was a short story to be written (or maybe it already has been!) about aliens who come to earth and start eating humans. When the humans complain, the aliens say, "why do you complain? you eat other animals, we eat you -- no big deal!"
- TheFreim 5y agoI'd say the fact that humans can complain gives a hint that they, and the hypothetical aliens, are in a desperate category than cows.

- danielheath 5y agoRed Dwarf covered this as an (IMO very funny) side-plot (in the episode where they accidentally interfered with JFK's assassination).
- simondotau 5y agoIn terms of comedy derived from the eating of animals, I'm partial to the restaurant scene in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: "Is there any reason why I shouldn't have a green salad?" "I know many vegetables that are very clear on that point sir, which is why it was decided to cut through the whole tangled problem by breeding an animal that actually wanted to be eaten—and was capable of saying so, clearly and distinctly. And here I am." "Glass of water?" https://youtu.be/bAF35dekiAY?t=87 https://youtu.be/bAF35dekiAY?t=87
