I think there is a huge confusion over the concept of a pet and the concept of a food animal. Some people eat rabbits and some people keep them as pets. I think that someone who had a pet rabbit but also enjoyed rabbit stew would still be horrified at the suggestion of eating their pet. There is an emotional bond with a pet that we just don't have with food animals.
If vegans view all animals as pets (they have an emotional bond with them) I can see how this poster makes sense. However, I think many people just don't see things this way.
