as most of you might know eating dogs and cats is considered taboo
in western society
however this is part of the culture in some Asian Countries such as China
I actually have seen stores selling dog meat when my family was traveling across rural areas of china
since I was young it was quite a scene for me
I am sure most people would find it disturbing and uncivilized since dogs and cats are considered "human-friendly" and "superior" animals to others because they are pets and helpful companions to many people
I dislike it but it cannot be helped because I think deep rooted traditions will always be there for them and they are not going to change anything since it becomes part of their culture
and I do think its quite reasonable for people to eat dogs and cats in their perspective (dogs and cats are not being viewed as pets but food same as cows pigs chickens ETC) so they treat them equally as meat supply
(dogs inside cages, prepping cats ETC)
sympathy for dogs and cats being eaten as food is understandable
what is your opinion on eating dogs and cats?
not talking about whether or not you support it but whether or not you accept it

I would eat them.
Animals are food, ultimately.

I wouldn’t eat them, I couldn’t help but feel bad about it since cats and dogs are pets/companions meant to be loved and cared for in our society, and I have cats myself. Not my place to tell another culture what to eat of course.

I think it's the same for any pet owner, I can accept it but I really really dislike the thought of it
Just hits too close to home

I'm glad it's a taboo thing here cause I really don't want to have to worry about my cat's safety around humans

pretty sure most of the dogs they sell in those stores were pets once

I'm against it not just cause they're dogs and dogs are pets
Pigs can be pets and we eat them

but from what I've heard at least, most of Asia is against it, especially since they acquire the dogs through illegal means then torture them
its not like they farm the dogs like we do with pigs and cows.

It's just a difference in culture, we eat cows, horses, pigs which is considered a taboo in some eastern countries. Besides none of my Asian friends have ever tried dog meat (never heard about eating cats either). I don't think friendliness or intelligent are much of a factor since eating dolphins is also a thing in some places around the world.

As long as those people didn't steal other people's pets for food, and they raise their own dogs/cats to eat... Well it's distasteful to me but that's their culture.

If they steal a beloved pet though? Yeah, fuck those people.

As if debeaking and grounding alive newborn males who are considered "useless" to the industry is a very pleasant and civilized thing to do.

since dogs and cats are considered "human-friendly" and "superior" animals to others because they are pets and helpful companions to many people
So what makes you think that a cat is a helpful companion but, say, a chicken is not?

sympathy for dogs and cats being eaten as food is understandable
Humans are hypocrites who are just too afraid to step outside of what traditional values they have grown up with.

meanwhile looking up the youtube comments LOL

people generally would reject your kind of thinking however because dogs and cats are highly valued as friends/companions of people (in modern society at least)
people get triggered when they see animals getting "abused"

she is right about the cat
my friends once told them cats are tasty (they are asians BTW I met them when I was doing volunteer in Cambodia)

locals eat cats dogs and all kinds of animals including insects
famine strikes hard and they do not have enough food for people
some of them even consume wild plants and other supposedly non-edible things for food

I knew that fact about China, even tho I am against it, it can't be helped as you said.
I don't consider dogs and cats superior to other animals, because I consider all animals to be equal, since I love animals and I do not consume their dead bodies. For me every living creature have a life that worth living it.
While eating dogs and cats is weird for the western countries, it's seen as a normal thing for some asian countries.

My objection to eating cats and dogs is that they are intelligent animals. Not like cows and chickens which are comically docile.

I tried to stop eating pork after I found out that pigs are pretty much as intelligent as dogs. My abstinence from pork lasted about a week, because pigs are delicious and I'm a massive meat eating hypocrite.

Also I've eaten octopus and I understand that they are very intelligent. Once again...hypocrite.

I'm totally against it because I understand that people eat pig meat/chicken meat etc but I don't think eating cats or dogs is really ok. It just...uh I don't know it seems so gross. I don't think every animal is made to be eaten. How would u feel about other people eating wild animals like..monkeys..bears...etc. It's the same as eating cats/dogs for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They are also killed in a cruel way, sometimes they're skinned alive.
The truth about cats and dogs (and how they are consumed in South Korea)

But anyway I'm happy I don't live in Asia so I won't have nightmares about that.

They can eat what they want, but I think my and other people's opinion about this won't change.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lychee_and_Dog_Meat_Festival

The tradition of dog meat consumption began over 400 years ago in China. Although there is no medical or physiological evidence to support it, many Chinese practitioners of folk medicine believe that dog meat would help ward off the heat felt through the summer months. It wasn't until recent years that the festival in Yulin began.

I think the dogs in this case are wild or farm raised dogs not domestic so I guess it's possible to eat them. I don't really mind that about their culture.
Never heard of eating cats though.

Btw, I tried dogmeat once before and it tasted pretty bad. It's like pork soaked in lots of wine.

The last tens of thousands of years contradict that statement lol.
If you ride a horse, you are using it as a servant, regardless if a harness is used or not. That is just one of millions of examples that animals have been used as servants & they don't care.

@xoO_Jerry_Oox
Don't forget, eating Cows in India is considered no different than murder. Even making cow jokes is offensive to those living in India.

Also Humans being used as food, yeah we are food for any carnivorous creature, and many like humans, will cannibalize their own to survive. Even Scorpions & Rats will eat their young, but it mostly depends on the situation.

Cover yourself in the smell of fish, your cat will eat you.
Cover yourself in the smell of ham or burger, your dog will eat you.

Is it wrong to eat? No, it isn't. If you watch anything to do with Zombies and are not bothered by it, then you too don't really care if humans are eaten or not, otherwise you'd stop watching something that basically glorifies cannibalism.
The Only enemy you should be concerned with is yourself, no one can be a worse threat to you than yourself.

You say you have no courage? If you don't let me treat you like a carpet, then you just proved you do have courage.

Success without failure is not something to be happy about. Even a little failure can strength your resolve to do better. Without failure, overconfidence becomes our downfall.

I'm not vegan, but vegetarian, so I don't eat animals corpses.
If you view that as a normal thing, it doesn't necasarry mean that all of us view it as normal. Not all humans view some things in the same way, so don't consider yourself in the center of everything.
Yeah, but we humans have morals and we can produce our own food, the carnivore animals don't have what we do, so for them is normal to do those things. They don't even have morals to begin with, or don't have a view of what's good an bad. Every creature view the world in a different way. We all are equal, but we are not the same.
