Carnivore Confusion: Difference between revisions

Line 362:
* ''[[Jack (webcomic)|Jack]]'' plays it extremely straight. All the furries are considered herbivores. Eating meat is explicitly equaled to cannibalism. {{spoiler|Dwelling on sick meat-related fantazies and later ''giving in to them'' earns two characters a demonic rank of Sin of Gluttony.}}
** "Synth-meat" is mentioned briefly as being the only legal alternative.
* The above-mentioned ''[[Kevin and Kell]]'', for those who aren't familiar with it, is about a "mixed marriage" between a rabbit and a wolf. As such it addresses this issue with surprising frequency and from several different angles. Kell, the wolf, actuallyruns works"Dewclaws Fine Meats" and previously worked for HerdThinners Inc., atwo predatory ''corporationcorporations'' that huntshunt other animals and sellssell the meat. Young carnivores are specifically taught ''not'' to talk to their prey, as it may result in befriending them. However, you need to eat the animal that you kill, otherwise it's murder.
** There's also a rule that states that predators are unable to track down and eat ''specific'' prey, meaning they can't kill an eat anyone they know.
** In a post about a [[Gender Swap]] comic for April Fool's day of 2007, Holbrook mentions that there would be [[Unfortunate Implications|a considerable]] [[Unequal Pairing|power imbalance]] if "Kelly" was the predator and "Kevina" was the prey. He admits that George and Danielle are a couple with a female prey species and a male predator, but notes that they're secondary characters (It probably helps that Danielle {{spoiler|was originally a human, meaning that she's not instinctively scared of George and she eats meat}}).
