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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

And how would you relate it to starvation... Thanks. | ||

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. | ||

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

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. | ||
