Most people (in the west, at least) would never dream about butchering their pets and serving the cuts for lunch.

neverhteless, they have no qualms in eating butchered cuts of pigs and piglets, calves, lambs and so on.

I saw calves together with cows. They behave exactly as baby dogs, following with happiness their mothers and cavorting around.
I saw pigs in very small farms, while kept for fattening, preparing to become hams and sausages. They behaved exactly like domestic dogs.

I would make it an educational point in letting kids see such scenes before eating their steaks.
