I know he’s not the first one, but in most media they mainly eat meat and gems are secondary. Or an alternate diet or something like that. The point is dragons are usually depicted as carnivores and I believe in the show they focused on the gems mainly to avoid that with one of their main characters. And even though I agree it would probably not be a big deal, I don’t think its fair to compare him to their pets. Its one thing for them to know there’s animals that eat meat, and another for them to hang around a sapient species that does. Though I guess the subject must’ve been touched upon when they first met Griffins, so they’re likely used to it.

Maybe that is why they keep pigs. To feed carnivorous pets and other animals. Also leather and natural fertilizers from waste food.

“Diiiiiscoooooord!”  
“…I thought you said you liked faces, clearly there was a misunderstanding.”

“Don’t worry, I didn’t kill anything, I just picked this one from Discord’s meat tree and cooked it !”  
“Meat…tree?”  
“Oh, he hasn’t show it to you yet, Fluttershy? Huh, I wonder why. It’s just down the left-hand path, right past the pile of screaming faces!”

“Apparently, this is a griffin tradition. Gilda taught me! Enjoy, everypony!”
 
(Only reason I can think of why Pinkie would gleefully serve a cooked bird to her friends that didn’t involve a depraved split personality.)

@Cirrus Light  
judging by all the quacking this guy has been doing on >>998827, I’m pretty sure you should jsut ignore him.

@PonyPon  
Then go learn what real oppression is in Cuba or North Korea or something.
 
…But then what scares me is some poor people may actually do it.
 
It’d be a great enlightening experience… If they survive, or don’t get terribly scarred. :/

@Cirrus Light  
Everyone’s too busy loathing America to consider it.

@RaawShark  
I just learned this is an actual thing.
 
I mean you do know that Thanksgiving is to be thankful for things, and we’re not celebrating genocide, we’re celebrating a peaceful relation some colonists had with the Natives and stuff…
 
I mean, you are aware of this, right?

@RaawShark  
Turkeys are made from actual Turks. Thus it is the annual genocide feast of Turkish people.

Happy National Genocide!

@Mori  
It’s important and noteworthy that it doesn’t go in that order. Decapitation comes first :p

Don’t worry. It’s a tofu turkey.

@Mori  
A hungry, yet picky one.

They ripped of her feathers and feet, decapitate her and burned her flesh. What kind of monster would do this?

@Diakos_D  

 
Finding truffles?
 
I know what you meant but they do have more than one use.

@Yoga is boring  
bah, whatever

Yet AJ’s family farms chickens for eggs and pigs who only have one use.

@ChuymaruZ  
That’s ‘humane seven’.

@ChuymaruZ  
…

@ChuymaruZ  
Mane eight. Sunset Shimmer probably celebrates with them.

I’m with Spike.

@Background Pony #A85D  
This is pretty intense and sick, though - it’s mutilated and burned, man! :O

@Background Pony #940A  
Honestly I think that Fluttershy would be really the most desensitized in regards to dead animals.
