I'm not on either side, but since you like this question be answered so badly. I will be more then happy to try an answer it the best I can.

First off it's the way people are raised and what we think is right and wrong. Since most of us live in the USA, we think of dog's and cat's as pets. Since we where raised to think like that. While if you go to another country, they are just animals like any other. It's like questioning why do we eat chickens, cows, fish, etc. But not monkey's, dogs, cats, snake, etc. So in reality if you think about it, all animals and insects, are just part of the food chain to something bigger then the other. So why do we not feed our dog or cat to our pets.

1. We would need a big enough pet to even feed it to in the first place. Most likely if you have one, your also going go with a cheaper meet. Then a dog, in the first place.

2. Owning dogs or cat's require a lot of paper work to fill out and the time it takes to process all of it. Would be to long, other than just going to a local pet store and picking up some mice's or rats or other type of animal's. Even if you buy from a breeder. It cost way to much money.

3. We live in the US, so bring a dog home and all of sudden the dog never gets seen again, will raise some eyebrows, with the neighbors. So then PITA and the animal control will then step in and arrest us for animal cruelty.

4. If you where going feed a dog or cat, you would need to fatten them up, witch would take a lot of money. Then just buying a big fat rabbit or something the same size.

5.I also think it's against the law in almost all states to even feed a dog or cat to any animal or person. If it wasn't, I don't think we would have so many shelters to worry about.
