There is a difference, no matter how hard you want to try and put a round peg in a square hole. Can you define "domesticated" please? Pigs have been domesticated, why do you eat them? Goats have been domesticated, why eat them? Why are cows not domesticated? Like the guy you quoted said, you have some serious logic issues sir. | ||

That being said, I don't disrespect other cultures for eating dog meat. | ||

Hm. ive heard its actually really tasty and i can see why, take someone whos been living well, doesnt exercise much (like say someone with Artosis' general build) the whole body would be nice and tender, with such a great diet the meat would have good protein and full of nutrients | ||

I'm 100% sure Dogs are more intelligent than chickens, cows and pigs. Dogs can be trained and used as awesome tools/companions. Can this be said about cow chicken pig? c'mon now.... | ||

Pigs are definitly more intelligent than dogs, possibly almost as smart as other primates. | ||

If someone has a culturally based aversion to the consumption of dog (or horse), that's perfectly fine. They don't have to eat it. But if they express disgust for the choice of others to consume these meats, and judge them for it, while consuming the meats of equally intelligent animals, they're merely hypocrites. | ||

If there were an alien species say 5 times more intelligent than humans that discovered earth, they would probably think nothing of killing and eating us, just as we do to the animals here. They wouldn't consider themselves evil( as many movies portray invading aliens), just as we probably wouldn't think we were evil if we colonized a planet we discovered by wiping out a bunch of chimpanzees. | ||

Pets are for loving. Not eating. That said I would eat a dog that wasn't my pet. | ||

On April 15 2012 11:55 Silidons wrote: also, i guess you're completely fine with human consumption too? we're only an animal, one with a conscience. that's the major difference between us and our primape relatives. you're fine with cannibalism since meat is meat? what argument do you have for that? Since you seem to have such a great issue with my views that it took you two posts to sum up your anger, I'll just take the liberty to respond to both in one. #1 Why is my opinion less relevant than yours? Because I don't eat meat in general? #2 Why do you assume I am not aware as to how dogs were used in human history? In my view of the world a dog doesn't stand higher than a pig. A sheep isn't above a cat. Can I relate more to dogs and cats than to pigs and sheep? Yes, definitely. Does that make them in any way superior or inferior from my personal moral point of view? No. That is my main reasoning why I'm for treating them all the same. And again, for me a person who can eat cows or pigs without a problem but suddenly has moral issues when it comes to a dog, cat or horse is a hypocrit. Such a persons reasoning to eat one species but not another only shows that he or she refuses to acknowledge that those species are similar. While I do understand that view (how many of us can relate to a pig just like they can to a dog when you see the letter everywhere on a daily basis?), that doesn't make it less speciecist. For you everything humans used to do for millions of years (e.g. hitting each other on the head to get his wife) is something that we should keep doing without thinking about it? #3 You accuse me of claiming that everyone should be vegeterian, why exactly? #4 ... and I just have to throw your quote right back at you, since you seem to have a problem with my view of the world: the #1 problem with dog consumption? there is absolutely 0 reason to eat a dog compared to other ways to get food. this is 2012, there was many many many more ways that are also cheaper in order to get food onto someones plate. So what? This is 2012. There is absolutely no reason to eat any animal compared to other ways to get food.* There are many many more ways that are also cheaper in order to get food onto someones plate. Putting a dog above a pig is not an inch better than putting a white person above a black or a christian above a jew. #5 Personally I have no issue with cannibalism. I do have an issue with living beings harming other living beings though. The human body or mind isn't anything holy or special in my opinion. So, yes, I'd be one of the later guys to call someone a bad person if he decides to eat human meat. Also, obviously, I find it more disgusting than eating an animal, but in general I don't see a real difference. Since I'm assuming you're going to ask me if I'm cool with my mother, father or girlfriend being eaten after their death let me put it this way before it comes to that: I don't care if you want to eat humans, dogs or pigs. I find it all disgusting and would love it if everyone would stop with it as far as for him personally possible. However, I do care if you try to pull any of that shit to people and animals close to me. (*)I'm aware that this statement isn't 100% accurate and/or that a life without any consumption of meat is exactly easy to pull off. Doesn't change the fact that eating a dog is still easier than what some other human degenerations of taste enjoy when it comes to what we consume. Edit: After reading this post here: On April 15 2012 13:07 Yst wrote: If someone has a culturally based aversion to the consumption of dog (or horse), that's perfectly fine. They don't have to eat it. But if they express disgust for the choice of others to consume these meats, and judge them for it, while consuming the meats of equally intelligent animals, they're merely hypocrites. ...I'm not really sure if my #2 should stand as it is anymore. I think I actually DO find the "culturally based aversion" itself already hypocritical, but you got me thinking. Your point is probably ahead of mine there. <3 | ||
