Why wouldnât they? Everyone knows itâs symbolic. And even if it werenât, it raises none of the ethical issues associated with eating animals.
If, hypothetically, a cow really wanted you to slaughter it and consume it, and it was somehow able to communicate that effectively, then nearly all the major objections vegans have to eating a steak from that cow would be nullified.
The catholic church disagrees.
Thatâs why it is only semi-serious.
Well, my response also addressed those who believe it isnât.
Edit: I made this response before your edit.
I think the best response is something like superuberbob linked. âItâs god. Therefore itâs different.â is difficult to argue against.
The consenting cow is still a bit problematic, see:

In my hypothetical case, the cow is of sound mind.
I have trouble reconciling being of sound mind and agreeing to being eaten but I have derailed this thread enough. This wouldnât apply to a god-like figure anyway as it suffers no adverse consequences.
That the great thing about hypothetical cases, we can just stipulate these things.
Admittedly, thatâd be one of their more well reasoned positions.
