South Korean dog meat farmers push back against growing moves to outlaw their industry - Lemmy.world

Dog meat consumption, a centuries-old practice on the Korean Peninsula, isn’t explicitly prohibited or legalized in South Korea

Why does eating dog meat bother meat eaters? What’s the difference between one animal and another?
True. While I don't think humanity doesn't have to avoid consuming animal products as a whole it would be great if alternative protein sources were cheaply available (and ideally substituted) so that cheap meat products become unappealing.
Simultaneously we should have a higher standard of treatment for animals and beef in particular should be much less available because of its extensive influence on the climate.
Really none of it is safe. When you think about how COVID is a zoonotic infection that jumped species, breeding animals for food and the conditions they are kept in, full of feces and infections, it’s not really a surprise.
None? Not every farm is cruel to animals you know
How is making them die not cruel?
You can still provide them a good environment which is something we should focus since it's apparent that people aren't going to stop eating meat.
Many people don’t eat meat though?
Is that an argument? Many also eat meat and starting to treat animals well is a step in the right direction. Perfect is the enemy of good.
So true, we had always slaves and it will never stop. We need to start treating our slaves better, no doubt, but aboliation is never going to happen, we just need to support the good slave owners.

Who is saying we wouldn't be stop eating meat? I'm saying it's 1000 times easier to take the step to treat them better than cut meat consumption all together.

But man are you something bringing slaves into this. Sure, go ahead and you do your thing and try to stop everyone eating meat while the mass farmed animals keep getting treated like shit. At least you were right, slavery is a bad thing and shouldn't have happened.

I’m saying it’s 1000 times easier to take the step to treat them better than cut meat consumption all together.

I was just saying its 1000 times easier to treat slaves better than to cut it all together. If Bezos would pay his workers better and let them take a piss on a real toilet it would destroy the profits. Once robots are cheaper and faster I will the first to stop supporting slavery, but until then I have no choice.

Your comparison is fucking stupid. Slaves are human! They are exactly the same as their owners! Animals are not. It's disrespectful.
So you don’t care about non human animals, do you feel superior to them? Is that your excuse why you support the abuse and killing of them? If you are pro dog meat please buy responsible: www.elwooddogmeat.com/meet-the-dogs
