I don't understand this, and I do hope someone comes to explain. Don't atheists think animals, homosexuals, and spiders are all equal to normal people? So why aren't they all vegetarian?
From very early times, God gave mankind permission to eat meat (Genesis 9:2-3).Jesus was not a vegetarian. He ate fish (Luke 24:42-43) and lamb (Luke 22:8-15), and even Jesus miraculously fed the crowds fish and bread (Matthew 14:17-21). In a vision to the apostle Peter, Jesus declared all foods to be clean, including animals (Acts 10:10-15).
Man is made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26-27). Animals are not. They are not like God, not capable of spirituality, they do not have their own minds, emotions, or will. If animals (including pets) do have a soul (and that's a big IF), it must be of a different and lesser quality.

Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
