Think about it, what makes it so wrong, though? why are dogs taboo, but pigs, chicken, cows are fine? those make fine pets too! Just concepts that have been forced through the heads of generation after generation of our so-called "civilization"
PS. I have never eaten dog meat (that I know of...)

This will certainly catch flak, but I'll bet my lunch money for the next month that a human would taste pretty much the same. Regardless of what social attributes we attribute to one animal or another, once you look past that all of the mammalian species are just a bag of bones and muscles (meat). It is also worth noting that the same revulsion and disbelief you feel towards people that eat dogs and cats is felt towards you by some other cultures and subcultures for your habit of eating cows.

I guess the "taboo" about us eating dogs and cats stem from the fact that these two animals are welcomed into our homes and almost treated like one of the family unlike any other animals.
I'd wager that someone who has a pet pig wiil not eat pork. |

I am "sort of" a vegetarian. Let me explain that. I care about self awareness, intelligence, and the capacity to experience pain. And... my own health. Breeding mammals (cows and pigs) under poor living conditions, as we do, seems unworthy of a society which aims to consider itself civilized, when other means are available for feeding ourselves. Breeding animals like birds (chicken, turkey) seems somewhat better. But still does not seem quite appropriate for a civilized people. Fish? I've no problem with that. While it is entirely possible to live well on an entirely vegetarian diet, there are documented benefits of omega-3 oils, found mainly in fish. And fish are a good source of protein. (Protein is an easily surmountable problem when planning a vegetarian diet. But being allowed fish protein is a significant convenience from a dietary planning standpoint.) And fish have very simple nervous systems. Very simple brains. It's hard to imagine anything of substantial complexity going on in there. Think of this as a sort of rational and ethically oriented vegetarianism. If eating dog meat is not bad for one's mental health, I'd as soon see that person die. Given the same personal exposure, I would extend that opinion to people who eat pigs. No doubt there will be some disagreement on some of these points. I would be happy if those who disagree would simply step back and consider the points which I have raised. I don't really care about proving myself right. -Steve |
