IDK about the US, but I think this wouldn't actually be legal anywhere. In Portugal, for example, there's some rules about this, even for personal consumption. I didn't read anything about gerbils in particular but it's not necessarily as straight-forward as just buying some animals, killing, and cooking them. It's because of public health laws.

Also, is it legal for everyone to just buy a pet and kill/slaughter it? Wouldn't that be animal abuse?

not if its a big enough industry to control the legislation. animal agriculture is a nightmare
