That is a highly different situation. Wherein the animal in this instance is used almost primarily for a domestic partner, a cow/pig/turkey/chicken is almost exclusively used as a source of human sustenance. Even if said couple did have a cat/pig/turkey/chicken in use at their residence primarily as a domestic pet and said housesitters did in fact consume the domestic pet, such an act would not have generated a significant amount of media attention because such a pet is commonly used for the sustenance of humans, especially Americans, wherein a common domestic household cat is not known for such uses.
