Why don't we eat dogs and cats?

The crazy thing is that we as europeans are the resulting eating habit culture of 16th Century upper class who changed from dinning on such animals as dogs and cats to prevent from getting nasty diseases such as rabies. Before the 16th century it was considered the norm to eat cats and dogs as much as it would be for cows and pigs. So i guess we have just moved on through suspicion and forgot that we once were the not so fussy side of the continent.
