In the Western culture, dogs and cats are often kept inside of the home and are considered domestic animals (as pets, not wild). Culturally, they are seen as companions and some even include their pets as part of their family. Therefore, the cultural acceptance of cats and dogs in Western society has elevated their status. They are considered "above" animals that are slaughtered for their meat.
