I never understood why someone can eat a cow but not a dog. They are about equal in intellect. Idk, i eat meat. Never had dog though.

Dog meat does not taste very good, its more bitter gamey than most westerners can stand. Beef tastes very mild.

One could say the same for cows. I would say we've benefited from cows far more then dogs actually...

Not all Chinese are bad. Mainly just the CCP ones.
uhuhuuhuuuuAahAaaaaahAAAAAAAh
So you're saying a whole nation of people isn't inherently "bad" because of the food customs only view of them participate in?
FMC01
I see the point you're trying to make but CCP is pretty much all of China. It's a single party state.

Enjoying the implication that the dogs are being delivered by people who think it’s still a slaughterhouse, and this is a scam to save them.

If you're in Ontario, I know a few rescues that specifically adopt out China dogs rescued from rhe meat market. My dog is one.

Pigs chicken and cows are domesticated too. You're just baised towards dogs cause we don't eat them in the west

We all should be biased towards dogs, but dog meat is also not good compared w/ beef or other more herbivorous animals…

Pretty much everything is a culture thing. Same as the Russia - Ukraine war, let Russia fight, it's a cultural thing.

True, you could argue dogs have been bred specifically for 1000s of years to be companions, not food. Personally, I'm vegetarian anyway.

Maybe they've also been bred as food for 1000s of years in some places.

It's not that simple, the government isn't killing the dogs and forcing its citizens to buy it. It's more culturally acceptable to eat dogs.

Not related to eating them but they did forcefully take peoples dogs/cats from covid infected households and put them down. Seemed evil.

Why am I getting downvoted? China is the biggest consumer of dog meat globally, consuming an estimated 10 million dogs a year.

Why is eating dogs worse than eating pigs, cows or horses which are just as smart ?

Dogs are the most domesticated & have helped us advance/evolve as humans & been our companions for thousands of years…

That's just as true for the other animals... sounds like the line is extremely blurry.

Dogs are really unique & if you can’t understand that, that’s on you, not on the thousands of years of history that prove mankind/dog bond…
bumpylumps
They're often boiled, barbequed and skinned alive. Definitely worse.
bumpylumps
Often they're abused and boiled + skinned alive because there's a belief that the stress improves the meat. It's definitely worse.
daromander
Lobsters are boiled alive. Fish mostly involves suffocation. Some chicken farming involves making it so they can't really move. Etc.
bumpylumps
yeah. I sidnt say that was good either
daromander
You did say eating dogs was worse. Why is it worse than the ones I just mentioned?

one's a willful disregard for the animals suffering, one is the deliberate, prolonged infliction of stress and abuse. look in the eyes of a

Nope. Meat of carnivores is awful. Horse meat sucks. Even sharks think humans taste bad.

Taste is subjective and is also dependent on who prepares the food. I've had rattlesnake and bear and found both delicious.

In some document about cannibals they described human as better pork. Also bear was good.

Brown bear I would assume, I think it's the only bear we have here in FInland.

I was thinking this:the US kills millions of dogs and cats b/c we don't have homes from them, is this acceptable only b/c we waste the meat?

It’s rightfully illegal to eat companion animals in the USA. We have enough problems without creating a market for farming cats & dogs…

Pig can be companion animals as well. My friend has a pet pig

Horse meat japan is amazing.

Put rabbit in front of horse. Put gator and frog between rabbit and horse in a new "gotta try it at least once" category.

I've had gator. Pretty sure it was overcooked and underseasoned then DROWNED in a sauce, so it may have been shoe leather.
FishieStardust
Our state fair has a vendor called Exotic Meat Grill and I've eaten a python spring roll - it was delicious
Soufange
I tried gator at a ren fair and... it was bland as fuck. That's why they covered it in hot seasoning, that was all I could taste.
KapteeniHai
You can buy horse meat at the store, but it's extremely tough and only good for thin slices on bread. Rabbit meat is good tho.
BatsArentBugs
Ah fuck yeah rabbit. That’s choice.

Was gonna say... rabbit is pretty fucking good if cooked right.

Of course, if you really want to make something good, nothing beats a good old Louisiana Back-bay Bayou Bunny Bordelaise, a la Antoine.

What kind of horse meat are you buying? The steaks I buy are great. Only a little bit tougher than beef.

I bet the rabbit disagrees

Keep in mind that rabbit is so lean, that it can lead to "protein poisoning" if you subsist on it alone for too long. Not a danger for 1/2

When I was there I never saw dog on the menu once. I was also in urban areas, so I'm sure that had something to do with it. 1 in 141 is .07%
