Makes me think of Jared Diamond writing about the ecological benefits of raising kangaroos for meat in australia. Although vastly more sustainable to raise than sheep and cattle, kangaroos are just too cute to become a staple of the dinner table.

But aren't sheep cuter? I'd rather eat the kangaroo.
