I have seen the dogs cut up in the market in Kunsan City, I could never
bring myself to try it.

I hunt and fish as often as I can. I would never consider even using a
mongrel for bait however or a horse for steaks.

Well, at least they haven't made the logical progression towards
solving any unemployment problems they might have.

I think that the outrage is a little misplaced. After all, about
30,000 children die unnecessarily each day through poverty and
neglect. Kinds of puts this sensationalist report into perspective.

Are you from the phillipines, then you have no idea piehole!

Why is it OK to kill and eat a cow or a pig, but not a dog? Why is it OK to
abuse a pig, but not a dog?
If you say they were bred for that purpose, then that means it's OK to
abuse, kill, and eat a dog if that is what I raised it for.

There is no difference.

To me there is a lot of difference, the intelligence of the animal, and
the animals ability to bond, and trust humans

OK, pigs aren't not as sociable as dogs, but they are on par with them
in the intelligence stakes. Why does an animal's worth have to depend
on how they fit in with our perception of what is cute and cuddly?

Meat is meat. Life is life.Everything has it's role to play... even
wasps and midges. shudder Differentiating is taking a polarised
view.

I think humans have more of a connection with dogs than other animals. They
were probably the first animal we domesticated. We probably hunted with them
before they were "officially" domesticated.

I have raised pigs and while they won't climb in your lap they are fairly
social and as you mentioned very smart. Cattle are dumb, goats are smarter,
and from what I've seen sheep can't be any smarter than cattle.

Sheep have to be the most stupid domesticated animal. They deserve to
be eaten, which is why it is my mission in life to consume as much
lamb masaladar as humanly possible.

I read somewhere that if you put a bag over a sheep's head, so no
visual stimuli reach the brain, it actually automatically falls
asleep.

Now, if this is true, and somebody actually spent time and money
researching this, with portable EEG machines and blindfolds, 2
questions spring to mind...

1. Who funded the project?

2. Why did they want to know how to put a sheep to sleep?

Inquiring, (and deeply suspicious,) minds want to know.

Somebody over in your corner of the world probably. Besides wool you have
trouble finding any sheep products over here.

This is the best idea to come out of this whole discussion. BTW since they
are opposed to medical research maybe they would volunteer to test some
medicine or cosmetics in the lab.
