What is your stance on this topic? I just read a story about how someone had their 8 year old border collie stolen and sold into a dog meat trade and eaten for $34.

I think dog meat is a great example of how arbitrary a lot of cultural norms are. Like, I grew up with dogs and I love dogs. The idea of dog meat being served makes me sick. But there isn't actually anything about dog meat that makes it ethically different from ham or steak, and even though I don't eat those they don't gross me out conceptually the way dog meat does.

It's really easy to see the ways other cultures are arbitrary or irrational but it cam be very hard to see your own because you're blind to them. I think it's something worth keeping an eye on in general.

considering the general consensus of the world is capitalist/monetary progress based and have millions of dogs euthanised and burned daily because breeders only see money signs instead of lives, i do not hold any particular feelings to those people who make use of it as sustenance instead of a simple paycheck.


i myself wouldnt eat it but i dont forsake those who have to

We gotta make a change
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
And let's change the way we treat each other
You see, the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
What we gotta do, to survive
