| Topic | Yulin dog meat festival begins in China |

Like I said, animal cruelty is animal cruelty. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy that it takes something like a dog for people to start caring about the well being of animals (well, certain animals anyway). Kolibri X posted... Any animal can be a companion, but no animal has been molded as much to be man's companion than dogs and outside of apocalyptic living conditions it is downright treasonous to torture, kill and eat a dog let alone throw a festival f***ing celebrating it. So what exactly is the cut off point to caring about animals? If you only care about dogs then fine, be consistent. But should we still have outrage when it's cats being eaten? Look, in the end I know there is always going to be folks that put dogs up on a pedestal. You just can't go around pretending to be an animal lover or pretend it's the animal part you care about when it comes to cruelty, but rather personal reasons that make you single out a single species. And if you acknowledge that, that's great, at least you're consistent. But a lot of people seem to set up varying goal posts of why dogs or pets get a pass while also contributing to the torture of several other animals by eating meat. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
