CNN Visits Dog & Cat Meat Market in China

"Dog meat is good for your health...and metabolism. In the summer it helps people sweat."

video is not working for me. But my mentality is that meat is meat. You dont discriminate because its got a familiar face, humans have this un written rule of if its not your own kind then its fair game. hah I made a pun far as I know cannibalism is frowned upon.

*edit to say it worked and I watched it, feeling are still the same, the only thing I seen in this video to compare is factory farming of chicken. Meats meat.. tired of people not taking responsibility for what eating other animals means to the animal being eaten. Although I dont at all condone the living conditions. Nore do I condone having a billion people in a country and stacking them on top of each other in cubicle domiciles.

Anyone not a vegetarian has no business agreeing with this policy. Just because its cute and furry doesn't mean that in another culture it won't be food. If you eat any kind of meat, you agreed with killing an animal. Cute n Cuddly doesn't make it immoral.

I was taught a word in grade eleven social sciences.. Ethnocentricity. I do belive it partakes in this subject.

Ethnocentrism is the tendency to believe that one's ethnic or cultural group is centrally important, and that all other groups are measured in relation to one's own. The ethnocentric individual will judge other groups relative to their own particular ethnic group or culture, especially with concern to language, behavior, customs, and religion. These ethnic distinctions and sub-divisions serve to define each ethnicity's unique cultural identity.

I was taught a word too. It was "stupidity". We partook in that while discussing people who couldn't see the difference between a chicken and dog.

What's that cluck cluck? Timmy's stuck in the well?

well I never seen this before I sent the pm. Your idiocy amazed me, not only do you glide right by the point of the message you seem to take it and mold it into your own little war. Ignore is a word I was taught in school as well; and your fuckin on it. your full of such shit, one thread your defending someones religious right and here your condemning a countries cuisine preference. I wonder if you look in the mirror and realize what type of jackass you present yourself to be.

I eat meat and I DON'T agree that meat is meat. When you trap a cat or dog with the purpose to kill it, it knows you're gonna kill it. Cows, chickens, pigs... they don't know they're gonna get slaughtered. And that's a huge difference and the reason why it is wrong to kill cats, dogs or any animal that understands it's own mortality just for meat.

BoneRemakesays...

I have written this post over and over, I am tired of deleting what I feel I need to say. Plain fact. You dont know what the fuck animals are thinking or have thought, you have no clue how they view mortality or even if they know of it. which personally I think it is ingrained in every living being as a reaction to survival, example, you prick me with your thorn, i'll back away... but the response you gave is just... just bullshit.

Yeah, I don't see a big difference between cows and cats. They're both cute, and are easily anthropomorphized. As for you guys flaming each other (Burd, Bone): You taste like chicken.

If society collapses, or I'm in a situation where I can't just simply go to the market for fresh beef, then I know how to build squirrel traps - animals taste like what they eat, so naturally a squirrel is going to taste a little nutty . Besides, squirrel pelts make for good furry leather. Are they cute? Yeah, the grey squirrels around here are kinda, with their big bushy tails. And if worse comes to worse, the apocalypse, the sky falls, whatever, I'm not gonna have any qualms about dispatching a cute little bugger if it means I get to live off the protein for a while.

Personally, I think a dog is more useful as a tool to make hunting more efficient, but I'm not gonna stop someone across the world from using it as a much more readily available source of meat. That would make me a hypocrite. People will do what they need to survive. Just because you don't eat a particular kind of animal, doesn't mean you should stop all people from eating that animal.

Hell, a dog just bit me last week, I needed twelve stitches. I love dogs, don't get me wrong. But in the wild, we'd be food to them - see Dingos, Wolves, Hyenas, etc...

I draw the line at cetaceans. There's no necessity behind whale and dolphin hunting. People should work on catching dumber, more sustainable prey. For thousands (if not millions) of people around the world, dog will fit that description, and it's readily available.
