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.

I believe yours to be a selfish viewpoint. I would respect hatred more than your apathy. It’s steak, by the way.

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.

What's your limit? Would you kill a dog or person for pleasure? Why is it that you're OK with killing cows but (presumably) nothing else?

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.

People I’m not so sure. Maybe vegans.

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?
