Yikes. That was yucky. Then again, there are greater ills going on in the world. Like vacuuming unborn babies out of the womb.

And there are plenty of people protesting that. However, the dogs have little to no chance at all.

Because that's a completely relevant point. Truly. I applaud you.

I'll never understand the "Oh that sucks, but (insert favorite cause here) is more important (to me), so the (insert not favored cause here) doesn't matter" frame of mind.

Evil is evil. And no matter what you think of abortion, it is LEGAL. The slaughter, sale and consumption of dog meat, however, is not.

For the record, though, I don't have a particular problem with the eating of dog meat. I don't consider a dog's life to be any more valuable than those of the countless cows, pigs, chickens and other animals that we slaughter and eat in this country. However, I do object to the methods used to collect, transport and slaughter the dogs.

Are you freakin' kidding me???? We're talking about pets. You know what? Never mind. I should've known better than to post this petition on this board. Some advocate for the underdog you are....

would you prefer if she said underrat?

i don't see anything wrong with what she said ... dogs are no more sacred than cows or chickens or pigs. i think victoria's talking in more general terms than this case. obviously people's pets shouldn't be stolen from them ... but not every dog is a pet

Did you not read the rest of my post? Or did you just not understand my reasoning?

I know that many of those dogs are pets. I'm not stupid. That's why I said that I object to the way the dogs are collected - meaning the stealing of family pets. But - AS I CLEARLY STATED - I don't find the killing and eating of dogs to be any worse than the killing and eating of cows, pigs, chickens, etc because I value the lives of all species equally.

And just as you abhor the idea of eating dogs because of your emotional attachment to that species, there are cultures who feel the same about many of the species our country exploits for food.

Yeah, don't let the folks in India know we eat cows.

[Miss Vicky]

I should add, for the record, that I object to the slaughter and consumption of any animal and have been a vegetarian for over ten years. I just don't think that dogs are in any way special in that regard.

Besides the fact that is completely off-topic, what a terrible attitude to have. So because, in your opinion, one isn't as bad as the other, it's not even worth bothering about?
