Eating dogs

[Sbane]

Eating a dog is akin to eating a family member.  Having had one for nearly 15 years, I know they are more than just pets.  And I am disgusted that so many voted 'yes'. 

Meh, you can just substitute dog for any animal here. I wouldn't eat a dog personally, but don't have a problem with others eating it. I mean, that's just a no-brainer. There are a bunch of people out there who are "disgusted" by you eating a cow or a pig.

Once when I was in the northeast of India, in the hills where the people have a culture very similar to Burma and are not like the rest of India at all, we saw a dead wild pig being transported in the back of a car. My family saw that and got disgusted, and the driver (who for some reason tend to be the most classist/casteist types) commented that "these people eat just about everything..pig, cow, dog". I found putting eating cows, pigs and dogs on the same level to be highly amusing.

It's certainly not okay with me.

I also really don't care about the supposed logical inconsistency between eating other animals and not dog.  That's the reason why I am an American and part of American culture thought.  Tough sh!t.

Why do you think anyone cares about what you think?

Haha wow, please justify why you would eat an animal that gives you milk to feed your children or helps till your field for free? Why not draw the line before that, hmm? What does a dog provide that is of more value than a cow. You guys are being absolutely ridiculous making these comparisons to monkeys or neanderthals.
