What's your honest opinion on dog meat? I know this is a taboo subject but you eat to survive, meat is meat and I'm Asian, we see dogs as animals, not humans to keep around as pets or companion like most white ppl do.

Most dogs are completely integrated into society. They actively see humans as non-enemies and seek to befriend them, and we have socialized them to our needs such that they often "act like humans". Dogs are probably the most human like animal in that aspect because they have specifically evolved to be suitable to human needs. At the same time however, they are still practically the same species as wolf, which is more violent and generally non friendly to humans. Because of that, if mistreated or generally left stray in the wild, depending on the type of dog, they could become unfriendly to humans.

So dogs may not be the most intelligent animal but they can act eerily human. So is eating dogs wrong? Depends on your view point. Based on the idea that they are "intelligent" we should have stopped eating pigs long before them, because they're in the rankings of the top most intelligent animals whereas dogs fall a quite a bit short of them. However pigs aren't very human and aren't domesticated to act like humans. So it's easy to see why people think eating dogs is wrong, because they are "human" to them.

It seems pretty profane to me to eat a companion animal. Are all dogs where you are feral or strays? Does no-one personally own any of them?

Friend of mine, now lives in Texas, grew up in the Philippines, related to me how he fucking hates Filipinos. In a stunning example of their WOG cruelty, his neighbors abducted his family dog and cooked and ate it.

While I agree with you on many of your points, I would have to say that dogs don't act human in the slightest. If humans are masters, dogs are absolutely bred to be servants. Dogs prefer not to think for themselves and tend to depend upon the leadership and kindness of humans even for their subsistence.

Dogs are pretty far from being human. They have merely evolved in such a manner as to do exceptionally well in human society. If dogs behaved as humans, we probably wouldn't like them very much and consider them to be an unspeakable burden.

But pigs are very violent. Getting in the way of a pig and its food is very dangerous, but humans play with dogs and their food all the time. Like holding dog biscuits back from them to get them to do tricks. Of course more violent dog breeds or mistreated ones might bite your hands but the majority won't.

Sums up my opinion really, I would eat dog as long as it wasn't somebody's pet. I know a lot of birds and ungulates that I would never want to eat because I like the individual animals, but I will eat raised-for-food animals like chickens, pigs, cows..

I'd eat horse too, I already handle a ton of horse meat being a zookeeper. People don't realize it but horse meat is common in zoos for feeding.. well, anything that eats meat.

I think the taboo is proliferated by the advancement of society. We are no longer starving so we don't have to eat anything we get emotionally attatched to. We have factories to slaughter cows so we don't see the grim reality.

Humans have had to eat dogs to survive historically. In fact I've read that the oldest domesticated dogs originated in china and were initially eaten and then later the other uses sprung up.

There is nothing more wrong about eating a dog than there is a pig. In other countries people still slaughter a lot of their own meat so dogs as pet isn't as compartmentalized from slaughtering other animals as food as it is in first world countries etc.

I wouldn't eat a dog because I'm a (arguably overly) privileged white person in America who doesn't even eat a number of body parts from less taboo animals like cow brains and sheep eye. But I'm circumspect enough to know that eating dogs is no better or worse than eating any other animal and that the slaughter of and consumption of dogs is a part of their domesticity.

There are things that set dogs apart from other animals and has led to our tight relationship but people get attached to pigs and cows too.

They haven't "evolved". Dogs are to wolves what asspies are to normal fellas. Selective breeding makes them retain wolve's early social learning skills over the course of their whole life in exchange for the species' problem solving skills.

Apparently. Some test showed adult wolves being much better at problem solving, but they can't take cues from people or other adult wolves, making them pretty useless as houshold pets.

Essentially this, though i'd say it's better someone have the ability to realize the same species can be both a food animal and a companion animal while making distinctions between individual animals than to sob about teh injusticc when something they see sheerly as a companion animal is being eaten. A lot of americans will do the latter when horses/dogs come up. And it seems like we house all the batshit insane PETA that will scream and cry if anyone does anything vaguely related to animals...

It's hard to take life. Different people have different ways of coping with this. My aunt runs a large chicken flock and she's told me, those are pets. ... except an asshole rooster on the rare occasion. /cough. regardless, some methods of coping are better than others and the above-mentioned works for me.

I remember in high school I had a Chinese teacher who told us that while we might call them cruel for eating dogs because in our culture they're seen as pets, a rural Chinese person would just as soon call us cruel for eating cows because in THEIR culture cows are working animals and eating them is disrespectful. It's all about context.

Australian here, not sure what you're getting at. Kangaroos aren't pets or working animals and they're nothing like Skippy. Also there's actually too many of them, they're essentially a pest. I don't see how this is any different to Americans eating deer.

Sort of this, but at the same time there's a reason underlying why Western cultures generally don't eat dogs and horses and such - they're useful while they're alive. A horse can pull a plow or a cart, and a dog can herd sheep, help hunt, etc etc. Thus we eat them only in times of need. I'm guessing it became something of a social stigma to be forced to eat a dog or horse, because it would imply that you were very poor. Between that and the companionship of animals like dogs, you get the prevailing opinion today that dogs are not OK to eat.

>>4053196
This is true. Pigs are generally regarded as more intelligent than dogs, but we eat them all the time. Saying we shouldn't eat dogs because they're smart is a silly reason if you're going to at the same time eat pigs.

>This is true. Pigs are generally regarded as more intelligent than dogs, but we eat them all the time. Saying we shouldn't eat dogs because they're smart is a silly reason if you're going to at the same time eat pigs.
Again, dogs have more use than pigs:
- hunting (catching, tracking, pointing, pursuing, etc.)
- protection (guarding and alerting)
- herding
- transportation (draughting, carting, sled, skijoring)
- search and rescue, police dogs, detection, therapy, etc.
- companions
- etc.

While a pig is intelligent and can be quite friendly, their size and other qualities made our ancestors decide they were better for food.

The decisions of our ancestors to tame dogs has obviously influenced why most societies consider eating dog meat a taboo.

And there is the emotional part. Anyone who has a good working dog understands why they are amazing companions.

I have a 3 yo German Shorthaired Pointer. We hunt, skijor, snowshoe, canoe, swim, hike, camp, and basically do everything outside together. When you go skijoring in the forest with your dog, shoot a few rabbits, and share one over a fire with a pot of tea you will understand what it is truly like to bond with an animal. And it gives you an idea of why dogs were so important to our ancestors from a survival point of view.

in the end, meat is meat, humans are omnivore for a reason, the main problem with dog meat is the usual dog - human relationship (human's best friend, that kind of stuff), so that's why many people find that wrong

Actually, once it's dead, the different parts of a pig have many uses, in a range of industries, they aren't just ambulatory pork.

I don't eat pork (but because of my first comment I've no doubt that I consume products from pigs multiple times a day) and I there are many things I wouldn't eat unless I had to, including dog.

humans are omnivores but so are other animals and you dont see chimps eating lions or other big cats or even other preatatores?
even when a lion kills a cheetah or a jaguar it does not eat it? it is un-natural for a meat eating animal to eat another

Go learn about Korea before you pretend to be Asian.

Koreans don't eat domesticated dogs. It's a separate breed for eating. Even then it's controversial in Korea. Saying all "Lel Koreans eat dogs" is like saying "Brits go foxhunting every week". No, a small minority still do it. It's controversial among the vast majority of people.

Most people would have some discomfort slaughtering any animal for their meal, whether they'll admit it or not. Dogs and cats are a little closer to home.

Domestic house animals do act differently than "food" animals or wild ones. If they come from a long line of domestic animals (versus say a stray you take in) they will be stupidly unguarded around humans, even when it comes to strangers. That is what bothers people; killing an animal that not only is kept as a pet, but doesn't even naturally see you as dangerous.

Also, eating carnivore meat is pretty pricey. Herbivore meat is already outrageous when you calculate how much corn each porker eats yearly, how about paying all that, then feeding a supply of grain-fed meat to a dog? As far as tropic levels of energy go, it's pretty silly to eat dog meat.

No shit no one wants to eat their pet, doesn't mean they wouldn't like to try what some already-prepared dog or cat tastes like.

Also, there are countless amounts of animal cruelty in cooking.

Foie gras, or "Fatty liver of a duck or goose force fed via corn tube shoved down their throats"

or the infamous ortolans

"For centuries, a rite of passage for French gourmets has been the eating of the Ortolan. These tiny song birds—captured alive, force-fed, then drowned in Armagnac—were roasted whole and eaten that way, bones and all, while the diner draped his head with a linen napkin to preserve the precious aromas and to hide from God."

Even the domestic meat industry is terribly and disgustingly abusive and filthy. The animals are kept so tightly packed and sick, they need to be constantly fed anti-biotics to keep them alive to slaughter day.

To continue to survive, you need to kill some other organism and process it into energy. I'm sorry there's no such thing as inanimate food.

You don't know most people. I'm guessing you live in the city and the the dark woods are scary. Perhaps the Blair Witch will get you.

I hunt. All of my friends hunt. All of my family hunts and has been for as many generations as we can trace back. Everyone I know hunts. I live in a medium sized community of 68,000.

Driving through town or out on the freeway, it's not unusual to see a deer displayed on the hood of a truck. I've done it plenty of times. I also hunt hogs and put down pests like coyote.

None of this gives me any discomfort nor does it give discomfort to anyone I know. In fact, it's quite elating when you get a kill. Try living in the real world for a change. Regular males aren't a bunch of pussies.
