This isn't about said customs being forced on you but rather you believing whether or not it is "wrong". I'm sure we all have our stance as to how far we would go to accept/respect the culture/customs of other countries, regions, etc. before we personally consider it "wrong."

Friend and I were watching a documentary and it led to us briefly talking about the Yulin Dog Meat Festival. We both felt so long as said animal is raised to be eaten, it doesn't matter whether or not said dogs are typically viewed as pets within our culture. We thought it to be no different than how cows are revered in India but treated as food in most other countries. Some us talk about how we don't want others to force their customs on us and yet here we are trying to do the same to them.

That being said, we do feel the dolphin hunt in Denmark might be taking it too far. Killing to eat is one thing. Killing for fun is another. Even if said whales and dolphin are consumed, we felt the approach to them being killed could be less brutal.

On the flip side, I do feel how women and children are treated in certain countries could be improved upon. I personally am willing to accept to most degree how animals are treated in other countries but consider it wrong how women and children in some cultures are essentially treated as second-class citizens or almost property.

Where do you draw the line when it comes to the customs of other cultures and whether or not you view something as "wrong"?

Comments and opinions are appreciated,

Thank you
