I dont see any reason why you cant raise some livestock as pets. People already keep pigs as pets.

You can pick a specific animal and raise it as a pet, and in that case you wouldn't eat it. That's always been a thing even before animal husbandry was attempted by humans. I'm kind of surprised you didn't know this.

I meant that there is nothing inherent to dogs that makes them pets and not for eating, while livestock are for eating. They are both just animals, people should be consistent in either having empathy for all such animals or not at all.
