I would understand eating dogs if they were bred for it but eating pet dogs is cruel especially if they had owners, who maybe did not want them anymore. Never is it stated that we're going to be kidnapping dogs from people for the purpose of eating them. Imagine it more like a farm where cows are grown, fed, and killed for their meat. | ||

I don't eat meat (insecure meat eaters don't bother trying to troll me as usual) myself but I have eaten rabbit in the past. They make cuter pets than dogs. Yet you can't eat dogs becase they are cute? | ||

Its an easy way to cut through the bullshit and have everyone easily see and evaluate the very foundation of what is being discussed. | ||

Well it is not, as it isn't okay to eat pork, beef, lamb, deer, etc. Only fish as they do not possess a central nervous system. Seafood is the best  But you're willing to oversee the atrocities committed by dog eating nations? (Don't deflect) | ||

But it might be going a bit too far to skin your pet and put him over a grill. It's okay only if they're put in an animal-like concentration camp at birth then "humanely killed" (oh the irony) when the time comes. That's apparently the line that people are willing to make on the issue. :/ | ||

And by the way, most pork and chicken meat is bred in an unimaginably cruel and heartless way, and that is why I choose to become a vegetarian. Also pigs are probably even smarter than dogs, why are people not upset about eating pigs? Dolphins are some of the smartest animals on the planet, yet people eat tons of seafish, although everybody knows that hundreds of dolphins are killed as collateral damage every year. | ||
