I would not eat a panda
it does not appeal to me
Despite it being grass fed
and not tough and quite juicy
It’s flesh I would not sauté
bake or broil or steam or fry
I would not make some pastry
and then bake it in a pie
Please do not serve me blue whale
it would surely be obscene
To brown it in a skillet
with chopped garlic and some cream
I could not sample blow hole
or a steak of flesh most pink
Do not prepare me sperm whale
or an orca or a mink
Bald Eagle’s off the menu
it could never pass my lips
I’d never shallow fry it
And then serve it with some chips
Please do not bring it to me
if you do I will reject
The smorgasbord of tasty
claws and wings and beaks and necks
Be gone you furry entrée
do not ask me to abide
A puppy stuffed with kitten
and Koala on the side
It leaves me feeling queasy
and on me it does repeat
I gag on eucalyptus
flavoured mar-su-pi-al meat
I’d never eat a chilli
made of simians for sure
Orang-utan with lentils
that I surely would deplore
I’d not enjoy chim-pan-zee
milk poached with fresh vanilla
I’d rather eat a salad
than bar-be-cued gorilla
But pig and cow I’ll gorge on
and chickens fill the belly
Once eels I even sampled
But the hot ones not in jelly
So why’s each species different
some not headed for the pot
whilst others we eat freely
quite delicious cold or hot

Haha! This is brilliant! 😁
I’ve actually used very similar examples with folks over the years.
As a pretty much lifelong veggie and vegan latterly (not an annoying one though! 😉) my line is clear. Nothing with a face 👍
My animal eating compadres don’t often seem to have the same degree of rationality behind what they are or are not prepared to eat though and find out outrageous when I suggest the thought of eating a cow or a dolphin is the same to me.
As always though your words far exceed mine – so I may well just carry this little ditty around now to make my point instead! 😁😉🖤

According to my youngest dolphins are evil And apparently quite rapey, amongst a long list of crimes, so should probably go on the snacking list…
I think the problem is that animals are just so damned delicious that we fail to see What we ought to…
I am carnivorous though, so my words are mostly hollow 🙂

🤣🤣🤣 Indeed they are! 😁
Re dolphins questionable behaviour… Perhaps rather than ‘nothing with a face’ it should be ‘nothing you can’t trust’ 🤪🖤
