However that is partly because we have selectively bred certain animals to bring out various traits for the purposes we desire.
Causing the kind of suffering illustrated in that link is different from whether we should eat certain animals or not though.

Agree to an extent shame, but it is the way in which they kill things that make people upset. Look at the cuisines across China, Japan et al where they eat live frogs and fish, eat tigers cock, drink fresh blood, and they make the animals truly suffer. Can't remember where but I saw an image somewhere where they were drying out shark fins on a rooftop. There were 1000's and the way in which they chop them off and throw them back in the sea is pitiful. I agree that killing is killing but the majority of these dishes are delicacies/specialities.
Have you never seen those live fish markets where there are fish that have no purpose of being killed. They boil snakes alive, tortoises, turtles. Just fucked up imho

Cosco, they were bred

I thought I saw your name on a loaf of bread the other day, but I looked again and it said Thick Cut.

Fuck off, some animals have a clear and obvious use that exceeds their worth as food, its not that hard to understand. What other use does a lobster have? Correct me if they're very lovable & make great pets or if you can use them to help plough your fields.
Would I eat a horse if I was starving? Yes. Would I eat one when there's an abundance of other food? No
Also I don't eat anything I wouldn't feel comfortable killing myself.
