shame 25,360 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Just now, davidtaylor said: It's different wherever you live, see I live in the UK so it's very obscene here as it simply isn't a part of our culture or something we'd think of eating. Just a matter of what meats are actually naturally appropriate for us to consume. Just because something is living meat doesn't mean it's appropriate to be eaten, dogs are mostly small, most have barley any meat anyway. But it really is a matter of where you live and if it's normalised there by society, it's a big world. Same, people would be disgusted here in Canada by the thought of eating dog. But when people express their disgust at the practice, it makes me aware of these arbitrary, ethnocentric beliefs about what we should and should not eat being thrown around, when really, it doesn’t matter imo. I mean, we (in the West) shouldn’t stop eating beef just because Hindus prohibit the consumption of cows because they believe them to be sacred animals. angels forever, forever angels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I do find it a little odd, however people need to try and understand and respect others. It's not odd enough, to me at least, to being to say I'm opposed to people who choose to eat it, it's their choice. It's all subjective on what our cultures like, I wish people found it easier to see similarities than differences in one another because there are so many more things connecting everybody than there are dividing. so happy i could die Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 100% here for "veganize the world", all animals' lives matter, but we can't pretend that dogs and cats are of equal/less value than animals thar were bred to be food or labor. I'm not here for that Dogs =/= food Idc where you're from, that sh*t is evil But can’t the same be said about other animals? That they were also bred to be friendly to humans so that they’re easier to manage in pastoral settings or historical agrarian societies? Like its actually easier than we think to “befriend” animals like cows or pigs and make them pets, no? not trying to veganize the world, haha, just trying to not discriminate against what we can eat 😂😂 angels forever, forever angels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes so deep that dogs' faces literally hack our emotions They're off limits for food. Don't be evil it's like 99% as evil as cannibalism. Evil! That said, I really would like to see the world go at least vegetarian I have a HUGE soft spot for dogs but no animal deserves to suffer. If anything, people that do sh*t like those in the op deserve to suffer ten fold How anyone can be cruel to an animal is beyond me.

Well if that's case ... you are not eligible to say " Every animals have equal rights " Dogs are part of the Chinese people's diet .. you cannot change that ... because it will cause a huge imbalance of the eco system and imbalance in Chinese people's nutrition....
