That... that's just plain old fanservice, Neo.

Yes... But there has to be a term for this specific type

Same way that male gaze tends to be.

Fanservice. It's exactly what that is.

I thought Male Gaze was that thing where feminists whine about guys looking at them because it's rape or some crap? What does that have to do with fanservice?

Well don't be... There are many avenues and definitions of Male Gaze and yes... "Victimizing someone with your eyes" is one of them.

But when talking about Television that isn't one of them.

So we got that sheep today.

Apparently, the owners DID feed their dogs, and her, lamb and rice formula dog food.

We have a cannibal sheep.

Congratulations! Now make it a little wool hat, secured with cured lamb sinew. Probably a fez. Pretty sure sheep get fezzes. Cannibal sheep must be attired properly, so that surrounding sheep are properly warned of their threat. Like a fuzzy and adorable scarlet letter it wears on its head. Hell, maybe dye an appropriate letter (C?) in the fez with sheep's blood. That'd be pretty neat.

Beh, the taboo against cannibalism (particularly when imposed on other animals) has never sat right with me.  Human corpses are...
incredibly disturbing...
But pig and cow corpses are too.

Honestly I'm tempted to donate more than my organs.  Compared to incineration or being smothered under 6ft of dirt, being consumed sounds pretty good.

The taboo made sense when we hadn't invented proper cooking...  Which kills the viruses and bacteria which are the root cause of our apprehension.

Some genius at Nintendo had Link's Awakening's save feature only accessible by hitting all of the buttons at once.  But for the GBA version of Link to the Past, hitting all the buttons at once resets the game.  I learned this the hard way today...twice.

Prions from the brain meat, and predator meat is generally more toxic because of concentration of things up the food web. S'why fish too often can be bad for you, mercury in the water gets concentrated. We're kind of the top of the food chain so it'd become even MORE concentrated, especially if cannibalism were used often to dispose of the dead. :V

Hmm yeah, that'd be especially true if we were eating eagles...  or other carnivores.
But we practically exclusively eat herbivore meat.
