I'm pretty sure it's only common to not eat cats and dogs and small birds for no other reason than because they taste bad/don't provide much food while also providing other services we find more valuable than they would have as food. Even if that service is companionship. Cats curb pests. Dogs help do all sorts of things. Even birds have uses other than simply pets.

Carnivores generally aren’t good to eat. That definitely plays a part.

Bear meat is awful - greasy and gamey.

You need a spring bear that fed on berries.

Usually though bear meat is put into sausage meat at like 20% with the remainder being beef and/or pork. It's not much good on its own.

The Chinese and Korean disagree with you. Look up the Yulin festival.
