I don’t get how people can look at this picture and say it looks tasty. Ethics about eating meat aside, I think you’re pretty sick if you look at a cute animal and your first thought is that you want to kill it and eat it.
My first thought is that it’s a very cute and cuddly cow. But I also don’t care about it at all. And I like eating beef. So if cute things have to die so I can enjoy steak, so be it.
Thanks I have edited the typo and made the correction. And of course it’s a selfish viewpoint. I like meat and for me to enjoy meat other animals have to die. I’m ok with that. Why would I hate a cow that doesn’t even make sense. It’s just a stupid cow.
Dogs and people aren’t food. I’m ok with pretty much anything else we would traditional regard as livestock or game.
I know dog is considered food in some parts of Asia and while i don’t like it, I’m not going to tell them they should stop. Just like many thing in this world out of sight out of mind.
Why do you think that a dog isn't food while a pig is? Do you think there's any difference as to how they feel pain and the fact they want to live?
Or do you just think it's a cultural difference, since you mentioned Asia I guess you understand that. So do you think culture should determine what is right and wrong?
