People in other countries eating different animals than you. Oh. My. God.

Or . . . people coming to our country and attempting to slaughter and eat animals we have raised to the protected status of indoor household pets.

Think of it as analogous to what our response would be if those South Africans who rape 6 year old virgins because they believe it cures their AIDS were to come here and attempt to pursue that particular quaint and colorful societal custom.

Do0d, it's NOT all good, no matter what anyone's slacker libertopian pseudo-philosophy tries to claim.
 
Indians are probably wondering the same thing about Americans and beef.

If I recall correctly, something about Indians needing cows to do all the farm work way back when, so they made it a "sin" to kill/eat calls. Thank you Sociology 101.

Your profile picture looks delicious 😛. If they didn't want to be eaten they shouldn't be prancing around all day, coming up to sniff my crotch, etc.
 
You all are some sick mutherfuckers...that's all I have to say.

I had our Vietnamese neighbors over once a couple years ago and they were scared to death of our dog. Big dumb mutt who wouldn't hurt a fly...the boy was standing behind his parents like a big pussy and wouldn't go near our dog.

I do agree with that. In our society eating dog is not the norm and in fact they are considered pets and are quite well respected for the most part. I would eat dog raised for food, I would never eat a dog raised otherwise. To much history and what not between our two species.

Lol. Years ago, when I had 3 dogs and lived in an apartment AND had found abandoned and taken in 5 kittens one month before I was scheduled to move, I had quite the placement dance to do.

I found decent homes for all the kittens, but also knew I couldn't take one of my dogs with me into my new abode, which I would be sharing and which I wouldn't own.

She was Tanya the Terrorist, and she would chew up anything and everything if left to her own devices. I tried as hard as I could to find a good home for her with someone who knew she was a chewer and would keep her as an outdoor dog.

By the day before I moved, I had only one taker, a Vietnamese street food vendor (this was in West Philly.) Yes, I had my doubts, but he was enthusiastic and promised that he had a newly fenced back yard and would give her a good home.

I did my best to ensure her survival, telling him I would come back to make sure he took her to her next vet visit. I returned to the city just for that, and he told me she had "jumped out of the car" on her way to the vet.

I pretty much knew what had really happened, but I didn't bother to confront the guy.

At least Tanya hadn't died a long, slow painful and pointless death of starvation and neglect and abuse on the street, and at least her death had some meaning, morphed as she no doubt was into some toothsome Viet street food which helped provide an economic leg up to a hard-working immigrant entrepreneur.

That's terrible. You should have said something because he probably went on craiglist looking for more animals to eat. D:
 
btw we should totally eat horses or at least slaughter them here. why create jobs in Mexico when we could create jobs here? such a stupid law
 
There is really no reason to eat higher level animals esp any that have been a pet.

It's akin to a soldier that kills all day and night coming home to slaughter his family.

If you don't believe there is a difference in that versus a stranger doing the deed, you are full on trolling.

The rule I learned growing up is that you don't name things you eat. Things with names are not food, unless of course it was an apocalypse, then fido would help getting food or help being food.

Except people will raise a pet then sell them off at times.

Seriously though in an apocalypse eating your dog would not save you.

Yeah, but I am not people like that. A name from me is a free pass on life for animals. Eating fido wouldn't save me, but it'd save me a few day of hunting, especially if he was a useless burden that wanted me to get him food. I love any pet I've had, and treat them better than a lot of people treat their kids, but if the apocalypse came, I'd hope fido would realize he no longer gets free food.
 
I'd be using their noses, hearing, and instinct and lead them with my might. My dog is my son. There is no way I would even consider eating him.

There is plenty of livestock in the world that higher animals are not needed for food.

Fo sho, but you act like your dog knows what you want. Unless you train him to help you, he never will know how. He'll just chase shit he can't catch and run up to you with his tail wagging. I love dogs, I love what they can do, I'm just saying in a hypothetically extreme situation, they would become food too. Plus, I already said it'd be if he couldn't help get me food. Useful dogs would be useful dogs.
