Well I guess this answers my question of whether there were really that many people still eating dogs. Apparently it’s not as rare as people made it to be.

That’s their threat? If you don’t let us butcher these dogs we’ll let them go?

This is hard because yes dogs are awesome.

But so are cows, and pigs.

I’m no vegan, but It’s interesting that the revulsion line for so many is dogs rather than fellow land mammals, land creatures, or something more distinct than a mammal you find particularly cute.

I’d argue the moral judgment here largely comes from people who just plain abstain from pointing that same moral judgment to sentient creatures they do eat. A cow or a pig is no less an individual than a dog.

As for me, I am eagerly awaiting lab grown meat becoming more available as an end to our species’ barbarism. Usually all I hear back is disgust at the concept. Give it a chance, for the sake of all the creatures we breed to torture and kill. If we can grow animal protein that tastes the same, that’s a win for everyone.

Y’all are nuts, acting like dogs are somehow different from the rest of the animals.
