Didn't Obama eat some neighbor's dog in Indonesia or something like that?

I believe you're right, but you twist the context of the story. It's no big deal because in Indonesia, it would have been as though Obama ate some neighbor's chicken had he been living in the Mid-West. He was also a child eating with adults. So the delinquent, borderline criminal context you imply with your above statement is truly fallacious.

Animals are food. Where you are living and what culture you're experiencing determines which animals you eat and which you "use".

Which brings something else to mind. A close friend of mine just got married and his best man has been living in Italy and France for the past 15 or so years. I asked him about the horse meat fiasco going on in Europe (and apparently in the U.S. as well) and he didn't understand the uproar.

His response was "What's the issue? We love eating horse in France. Lots of protein. And it tastes good!" He brought up a good point. He understood the interest in knowing that you are eating exactly what the package says you are eating, but a little horse meat mixed in with ground beef is nothing different than a little pork being mixed in with ground beef. Sure it's not exactly what is listed on the packaging, but the idea that the story is some sort of enormous animal rights abuse case is a reach. I had a difficult time arguing that point and conceded the discussion noting that a popular burger joint in town boasts its "Slater's 50/50 burger," which is 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon.

Overpopulation will have its consequences.

And I have no issue with cultures that ceremonially cannibalize the dead. As a former Catholic, they used to have us pretend we were doing the same thing, so why should it be an issue?
