Yulin Is Barbaric

Re: Yulin Is Barbaric

They are not eating their pets.
They are eating animals they have raised for human consumption.

I'm so ready to get the cheese out.

What's the difference?

[QUOTE="anunitu;231250"]

There is a product here on the east coast(might be NJ or Pinn thing) known as a pork roll.

Pretty tasty...salty a bit..fried and used in Sammy's a lot..A form of Ham in a way,but not as altered as SPAM.(one of my favorites BTW)

Hawk might be familiar with it,being an EX Jersey girl(My first experience with it,because it does not exist on the west coast that I recall) Did I mention it is tasty?[\QUOTE]

That looks like our fritz (or devon if you live on the east coast).

The difference is they have no emotional attachment to the animal. Like we generally don't for chickens.

We raise chickens for slaughter to eat in western countries and this is normal.

Now change "chicken" to "dog" and "western" to "eastern".

I think I understand a little bit now, but I'm still oppose to it.

Perhaps we could just kill and eat the wild Nagua?

You're allowed to be opposed to it. Why wouldn't you be? It really IS a horrific way to treat a living creature.

It's hard to tell with this 'thread', as it's more of a tangled mess of tangents than a single thread and I lost the gist pages ago, but I think the point people are trying to make is that killing any conscious sentient being for food is going to cause the animal distress regardless of the species. They're trying to make you think.. why is it okay for say, a cow to suffer at human hands, but not a dog? Just because your culture says it's 'normal', does that make it any more 'right'? It's a question every open-minded person has to ask themselves. There's no right answer either. Only what is right for you. Some will decide the animal's suffering is justified, others, as far as their budget will allow, will opt for organic/grass fed/humanely raised meat, or else try to cut down on how often they eat meat, or might choose fish and seafood over eating mammals. Then there are those who decide they'd rather just find alternative sources of protein and nutrients.

Like I say, there's no right answer. You need to decide for yourself. BUT if you feel the suffering of cattle is worth it for your burgers, then you need to realise that it is no different to killing dogs for meat (and if you think those cows live and die without suffering then I suggest you do some research, although I'll warn you that you won't like what you find out).

Re: Yulin Is Barbaric

I myself live on a seesaw concerning eating meat,and being aware of suffering of the source of said meat. If one faces death from starvation or killing and eating a favorite pet,some will die before doing that,and some will do ANYTHING to avert death.

Yeah thats good. I oppose all animals killings on some level. Which is fine. You're allowed to have opinions. But you've gotta be open minded too.

Re: Yulin Is Barbaric

You know when mama predators bring almost dead and maimed animals to their baby predators to practice on...no one protests them.

I understand that some cultures are different and I totally get it. Maybe I should be open-minded.

How about mama cats who bring nearly dead critters to their humans as signs of love. But make sure they still have enough life in them so you can kill them yourself and learn to kill like a good mama cat teaching her babies.
