All animals, especially other mammals such as cows and pigs, have the same characteristics and emotional abilities as our beloved dogs do. So why is it wrong to produce dog meat and not wrong to slaughter cows, pigs, chickens, etc.? | That's an excellent point! Pigs are actually smarter than our dogs so when they are in the slaughterhouse, they are experiencing terror like you can't imagine. I buy meat for my husband but I refuse to buy pork. It's my personal line.
