It's not so evil of family pets to eat the dead body of their former owner...they know perfectly well that the living personality who was the owner is not in there anymore, and they are practical enough to dispose of the body, rather than leave it lying around to decay. Totally sensible.

They're just not so sentimental as humans. Remember that story about the woman who kept her decaying wedding cake for years and years, mouldering away in her room? No animal would be silly enough to do such a thing.

Lizards, on the whole, are quite likeable...except for Cheech Wizard, that is. He's a depraved scumbag.
