I’ve never understood thy people are so obsessed telling others that they should not eat dog meat while mjnching on a burger with crispy bacon and chicken nuggets.
If a vegan does it then I get it, but you are not a better person because you arbitrarily chose not to eat some specific meat, but have no problem with cruelty when it comes to other species.
Yeah I personally wouldn’t be comfortable eating dog meat but I do eat meat so I realise I have no moral high ground. In reality if you have a problem with this as a meat eater it should make you question your own choices if anything.
When I asked a vegan about her choice she asked me if I would eat my pet. I must admit the biggest thought in my mind was that it wouldn’t taste good, so no. I’m not sure if I could raise a livestock animal and then eat it. Possibly, but probably not since they get slaughtered early in their lives. So I guess I’m a hypocrite just like most people, taking shelter in out-of-sight, out-of-mind.
It’s because most people don’t know a cow or chicken. If they did, things might be different. In fact I remember seeing Ira Glass speak and he recounted how he spent some time at a retreat where chickens roamed free, and after having the time and opportunity to observe that they think and feel and have different personalities, he became a vegetarian.
I think you are probably right. For me it’s kind of the opposite but still consistent. When I was a child we had many different animals and I had names for many of them including the sheep Bartek which me and my sister would ride often. In the end we would eat all those animals (but not the dogs or cats). So I’ve been friends with other animals than dogs, I’d even say they were better friends then the dogs I had because I have a hard time remembering the dogs names.
Yet again, another person blinded by the culture they are raised in. You are no better than a dog eater.
I think you are misunderstanding something, I am a dog eater.
Proud psychopath is proud to be a psychopath, whoda thunk it.
🤦♂️
Imagine you, coming into a thread about banning eating dogs and proudly announcing you eat dog then trying to act like it’s others who can’t read the room…
Doubt it. people had chicken roaming free in their backyard for millennia and never had an issue. One bloke observing chicken free and turning vegetarian is hardly an explanation.
factory farms play a large role in people’s unease to buy meat from an industrial supplier.
I think its less about empathizing with animals and more about understanding the casual brutality of guys in suits.

It keeps some people from having children who really shouldn’t have children. So it has its uses.
Including humans.
Agreed, I was actually having a discussion where I mentioned certain parts of China and Korea eating dog- and a girl got mad at me saying it was a myth and I was being racist. 1. It’s not a myth, I’ve seen it. 2. I wasn’t condemning it, you’re the one saying it’s bad not me.
I’m not a dog person, but I gave a cat. The idea of cats being farmed and eaten isn’t pleasant for me. I don’t think that makes me morally superior to someone who eats cats, but it does mean I’d prefer it not happen anywhere near me.
The West fetishizes dogs.
Pussies too
It’s not about arbitrary choices; it’s about cultural perspectives. Dogs are often seen as companions, and advocating against eating them is rooted in that sentiment. Just as you might find it odd to eat a pet you’ve grown up with, some feel the same about dogs. It’s about empathy and cultural values, not just personal dietary choices.
Nobody eats their pets. The dogs are bred for meet in farms like any other animal. People have pigs as pets and don’t eat them, but they don’t tell other people to not eat pigs, that’s my point.

I’m glad there’s no such ban in the US. Elwood’s Organic Dog Meat is my favorite source of protein, I don’t know how I’d survive without it
cows,pigs and chickens : “am i joke to you”
I’ll stop eating cows when you breed one the size of my Yorkie that I can buy little cow jumpers for
Manikyam may not be as small as your Yorkie, but is the size of an average Golden Retriever. So unless you’re going to start eating large dogs …
I hope my country follows suit. The law that banned dog and cat meat consumption was repealed in the early 2000s. Since then, the dog and cat meat trade has flourished. Pet dogs and cats are snatched from people’s homes, and brought to slaughterhouses to be force fed, hosed down, and slaughtered. The neighborhood I grew up in has had so many dogs snatched. Every time I see people eating dog meat, it saddens me to think that it was someone’s pet that they loved so so much, just to have it be killed in such a horrible way. And as a pet owner, it scares me, because it could’ve been my cat.
Which country is this?
Vietnam. If you want to learn more, this report seemed pretty good to me.
I don’t know about dog meat, but I only buy chicken from Gentle Farms, Because nobody knows chickens like chickens.™
Aw dang. They should eat as much dog as they like.
As long as we’re eating everything else, I don’t see the point in drawing the line at dogs.
Well, that’s fucked up. But okay… Continue to spread your intellectual dishonesty.
What are you talking about?
why?
