🐶 "Save dogs, eat pigs?" 🐷

A nice article about South Korea that goes through... applications of carnist behaviors and speciesist fallacies.

From "jobs tho" to "cultural moral relativism", see them all...

People in South Korea have faced international criticism over dog meat for decades. Now the government has finally moved to prohibit the practice - to the jubilation of the Western media.

Dog meat supporters decried the ban as a travesty, even threatening to unleash two million dogs in protest. While politicians expected opposition, not a single parliamentarian from any party voted against the ban.

But the debate raises deeper questions: is the narrowly applied outrage over dog meat justified, or do we just have a blind spot when it comes to our own meat practices? Morally speaking, are animal products like pig meat familiar to consumers in the West any different to dog meat?
