of course i wouldn't suggest giving them to a shelter that euthanises, i'd never suggest such a thing.

my point was that eating meat near-exclusively is how those animals have evolved and what they'd do in a natural environment, and yeah if they had an opportunity to eat beef in the wild they'd go for it. i fundamentally disagree that keeping them as pets is contradictory to animal rights, considering the process of domestication for these animals started with them initiating regular contact with humans and not the other way around.
