To me its the same debate that most people have against hunting, yet they eat meat.

I dont see the difference between eating COW, PIG or DOG. In many countries dogs are not used as pets at all, hell i got friends from places in Africa that view dogs as "evil" because their only contact with them is soldiers and mercenaries using them as intimidation tools/weapons.

To me, this is mainly a cultural thing. When you keep dogs as pets, sometimes you begin to see them as part of the family and not simply an animal. But if you look at it objectively, we are all just animals. I answered NO because I love dogs but in truth theres absolutely nothing weird about eating dogs and its not something to condescend upon. Countries cultures are not gonna change anytime soon though, so you might as well get used to westerners thinking you are weird for eating dog.

Animals dont need to died so you can eat meat. They just dont! Bend down rip som grass from the floor and shove it in your mouth! You'll survive!

No one will even begin to logically debate with thm selves whether it's wrong or not, because they subconsciously know they wouldnt be able to stop or even consider it.

Try me. I guarntee I can slam ANY argumetn against not eating meat. It's like trying to prove me guilty of murder , Im not afraid because Im innocent, so theres nothing u can possibly say because your wrong.


Humans are omnivorous, which means we are designed to eat both plants and animals. We don't NEED to eat animals anymore (there are substitutes for almost anything you can find in meat) but that doesn't make it "wrong".

Also, you won't survive off eating grass. Your stomach isn't able to process it, and it'll destroy your teeth.

As long as the animals are raised in a good environment and not in tiny cages their whole lives, I'd be ok with it. I wouldn't eat any myself, speaking as a dog owner in a family where everyone owns many dogs. I think the same for every animal you can find on a plate, raise them in a good environment and butcher them humanely.

The animal has a good life with everything provided, then instantly lights out. No pain and no suffering. I'd like to hope that one day animals are kept that way everywhere.
You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.

"Producing dogs for food" is unethical.

Eating animals already is a kinda big waste of resources; eating animals that eat animals is even worse. And doing this while people are still starving is just wrong.

lol, I bet they could easily find a way to process grass for humans to eat. I highly doubt anyone would though by that point. It would be like eating half digested muck that still refuses to go down easily.

As for eating dogs, ethnically its just like any other animal (minus human i guess), but culturally, it's a huge nono in the west. Cultural stigma is all I need to not eat dog, as I rather wouldn't anyways. From what I hear though, the dogs that they breed for food are mad ugly, so I guess they're treated more like cattle than like food.

I feel you make a lot of sense but I might just be too narrow to understand you. Could you please elaborate? And how would you relate it to starvation... Thanks.

Perhaps he is referring to ecological efficiency, in which energy is continually lost (exponentially?) in the transfer to the next trophic level. This means that sun and other energy used by plants to grow is efficient. When animals eat that grass, it is much less efficient. When an animal proceeds to eat the animal that ate that grass, it's horribly inefficient compared to the original producer.

The whole starvation thing appears to be nonsense.

Meat is meat. And the way chicken is bred is horrible 2. So don't be so hypocritical about dog meat people. Meat is meat. Cause some people has them as pet doesn't mean anything. Some has chicken as pet or pigs or horses and people eat them too.

I think the real discussion point should be enforcing humane killing methods. Be it dog, chicken or pork, abuses run rampant in the industry. Im fine with dog meat

Its all about perspective and the use of the actual animal. I think it hearkens back to the days when dogs where used to help hunt other animals and therefore were not eaten because they actually had a use. Same thing with horses. I suppose the utility of the animal should be a guide to whether it should be eaten or not.

That said, I have no qualms about anyone eating dog meat. I only have problems when people go after endangered animals.

in terms of objective morality there's nothing inherently wrong with eating dogs, just as there's nothing wrong with cannibalism.

in my subjective preference, i would not eat a dog, and i look down upon people who do eat dogs. to op: moral relativism is a slippery slope to moral nihilism.

Power overwhelming!
