Cultural taboos against certain forms of meat may be due to the species' standing as a common pet. In addition, some meats are considered taboo simply because they fall outside of the range of the generally accepted definition of a foodstuff within a given society. This is not necessarily because the meat is considered repulsive in flavor, aroma, texture or appearance.

Pets
Rabbit Leporids such as European rabbits and hares make friendly pets for fanciers or those allergic to cats and dogs. They are also a food meat in (at least) Europe, South America, North America and China. The consumption of rabbit meat, however, historically predates their use as pets, and is therefore not considered taboo by most people. The hare is specifically stated to be an unclean animal in the book of Leviticus in the Bible, making it taboo for Jews and those Christians that hold these rules to be binding for themselves.

However, one recent DNA analysis has shown evidence that they are related to British shorthair cats. Feral cats in Australia are regularly hunted, but not eaten, by non-Aboriginals due to their being voracious pests. They are considered a danger to native species. There is a small minority of scientists who contend the cats are more likely to eat from rubbish dumps and other food sources provided by humans.

The term roof-hare applies to cat meat presented as that of a hare, another pet used as a source of meat. Subtracting the skin, feet, head and tail, hares and cats are practically identical.

Pasar gato por liebre ("to pass off a cat as a hare") is an expression common to many Spanish-speaking countries, equivalent to "to pull the wool over someone's eyes" derived from this basic scam.

In France specialized butcher shops (boucheries chevalines) sell horsemeat, as ordinary butcher shops do not have the right to deal in it. According to legend, the French taste for horse meat dates from the Battle of Eylau in 1807, when the surgeon-in-chief of Napoleon's Grand Army, Baron Dominique-Jean Larrey, advised the starving troops to eat the flesh of dead battlefield horses. The cavalry used breastplates as cooking pans and gunpowder as seasoning, and thus founded a tradition.

The taboo Horse is commonly eaten in many countries in Europe. Horse may not be eaten by observant Jews, since under Mosaic Law, horse meat is forbidden because the horse is not cloven-hoofed or cud-chewing. However, in Islamic countries horse is generally considered halal.

The eating of horse meat is a food taboo to some people in the United Kingdom, the US, and Australia, and is sometimes even illegal. Like lobster and camel, it is forbidden by Jewish and some Christian religions. In 732 CE, Pope Gregory III began an effort to stop the pagan practice of horse eating, calling it "abominable", and the people of Iceland allegedly expressed reluctance to embrace Christianity for some time largely over the issue of giving up horse meat. His edicts are based on the same scripture as the Jewish prohibitions. In many cultures, certain foods are thought of as forbidden or taboo. ...

In some countries the effects of this prohibition by the Catholic Church have lingered, and horse meat prejudices have progressed from taboos to avoidance to abhorrence. In other parts of the world, horse meat has the stigma of being something poor people eat and is seen as a cheap substitute for other meats. The problem of horse meat having the reputation of being tough is a popular myth. In real terms you can consider a horse to be a fast running cow.
According to the anthropologist Marvin Harris, some cultures class horsemeat as taboo because the horse converts grass into meat less efficiently than other beasts, since horses do not function as ruminants. When breeding cattle for meat, a cow or a sheep will produce more meat if fed with the same amount of grass. However (apart from the ox) those can not be used as working animals. Brigitte Bardot has spent her latter years crusading against the eating of horse meat. Marvin Harris (August 18, 1927 - October 25, 2001) was an American anthropologist and highly influential in the development of cultural materialism. ...

Japanese call raw horse meat sakura (cherry blossom) from its pink color. It can be served raw as sashimi - where it is called basashi - in thin slices with soy sauce and wasabi, and it is also commonly found on menus for yakiniku (a type of barbeque) as baniku. In Switzerland horse meat may be used in Fondue bourguignonne. It is widely believed that traditional Belgian fries (pommes frites) were cooked in horse fat, but in fact ox fat was used, although this has been supplanted by nut oil (considered inferior by many) for health reasons. In Italy horse fat is used in recipes such as Pezzetti di Cavallo. In Chile it is used in charqui. In Iceland it is used for fondue, but it is mostly used for stews for its strong flavor. In Germany, horse meat is traditionally used in Sauerbraten, a strongly marinated type of sweet-sour braised meat dish; in the last decades beef has become more and more common.

Cows Many Hindus abstain from eating any meat at all. Most Hindus do not eat beef, as the cow holds a sacred place in Hindu society, however the taboo does not always extend to milk and dairy products. While the injunctions against eating beef arose long after the Vedas had been written, it is assumed that the largely pastoral Vedic people and subsequent generations of Hindus throughout the centuries relied so heavily on the cow for all sorts of dairy products, the tilling of fields, and fuel or fertiliser that its status as a willing 'caretaker' of humanity grew to identifying it as an almost maternal figure. Traditionally, people from lower castes, like Dalits, ate beef and carabeef (buffalo). In modern times, beef-eating has gained some acceptance in various parts of India.

Insects Except for locusts and related species, insects are not considered kosher. Many find the consumption of insects to be disgusting rather than immoral. In particular, some insects and insect larvae, such as weevils and maggots, are associated with food spoilage. Desert locust Locust is the name given to the swarming phase of short-horned grasshoppers of the family Acrididae. ...

Many different kinds of insects have traditionally been consumed as food in non-European cultures, including locusts, grasshoppers, and crickets, and larvae such as caterpillars and bee grubs. For example, grasshoppers (inago) and bee larvae (hachinoko) are eaten in some regions of Japan and silkworm larvae (ppondegi) is a popular snack food in Korea. Desert locust Locust is the name given to the swarming phase of short-horned grasshoppers of the family Acrididae. ...

Kangaroo Kangaroo meat has had a varied history as meat in Australia due to the emotive association, predominantly by foreigners, of kangaroos as pets and a national symbol. In actuality the relatively lower consumption compared to beef and lamb is primarily due to the higher relative cost and more exotic "gamey" flavor of the meat. Kangaroo meat is the base of dishes in many restaurants and is available at many butchers and major supermarkets as mince, sausages and steak. The meat can also be smoke cured and makes an interesting prosciutto. Species Macropus rufus Macropus giganteus Macropus fuliginosus A kangaroo is any of several large macropods (the marsupial family that also includes the wallabies, tree kangaroos, wallaroos, pademelons and the quokka: 45 species in all). ...

Offal In the United States and Australia, many people are squeamish about eating offal, or the internal organs of butchered animals. Organ meats such as sweetbreads and kidney which are considered edible in other cultures are more often regarded as being fit only for processing into pet food under the euphemism "meat by-products" in the United States. Except for calf liver, organ meats that are consumed in the U.S. tend to be regional or ethnic specialties; for example, tripe as menudo among Latinos, chitterlings in the southern states, beef testicles as mountain oysters and prairie oysters in the west.

Pigs/Pork Consumption of pigs is forbidden among Muslims, Jews, and Seventh Day Adventists. There are various theories concerning the origins of this law, but none has been universally accepted. The 'unclean' status may be due to a pig's wallowing habits (in water, mud, or even feces when under stress), as well as its more omnivorous tendencies. This tendency includes the consumption of such undesirable food sources as leftover garbage, animal carcasses, and feces. Pork is also known to contain worms, particularly trichina.

According to anthropologist Marvin Harris, the major contributing factor for pork taboos is the historical competition in the Middle East between pigs and humans for resources, as the two occupy roughly the same ecological niche. Marvin Harris (August 18, 1927 - October 25, 2001) was an American anthropologist and highly influential in the development of cultural materialism. ...

Perhaps a more likely answer can be found in the nomadic tribal culture of the original Middle Eastern cultures. Nomadic tribes did not keep pigs, but favored animals more suited for long treks across arid lands and were in competition with stationary land cultivators for whom pigs were an important farm animal.
Primates Some consider the consumption of monkeys and apes to be too close to human cannibalism due to the similarity of our species. The similarity increases the danger of viruses. Most is "bushmeat" or caught from the wild, in area of high non-human primate populations such as Sub-Saharan Africa and southeast Asia, especially Indonesia. One of the major theories for the origin of the HIV virus in humans is the eating of primate meat infected with a similar virus. Three types of viruses: a bacterial virus, otherwise called a bacteriophage (left center); an animal virus (top right); and a retrovirus (bottom right). ...

Rats and Mice In most Western cultures, rats and mice are considered either unclean vermin or pets and thus unfit for human consumption. However, rats are commonly eaten in Ghana and in rural Thailand. Cane rats (Thryonomys swinderianus and Thryonomys gregorianus) and some species of field mice are a rich source of protein in Africa. Historically, rats and mice have also been eaten in the West during times of shortage or emergency, such as during the Battle of Vicksburg and the Siege of Paris. Mice were also domesticated and raised for food in ancient Rome. In some Asian countries, mice are eaten, and go by the name of vole. In some communities the muskrat is hunted for its meat (and fur).

Of all the taboo meat, eating human flesh would probably rank as the most proscribed. Historically man has indulged in the flesh of fellow humans either out of hunger or rituals or insanity. It is still consumed by a few tribals and cases of cannibalism have been noted in Africa, Asia and Papua New Guinea as well as in other parts of the world.
