I agree.
My hubby eats meat (although he does like some of my meat-free foods, he is not a vegetarian and he never will be). He'll eat duck and rabbit and steak, etc. but when we talk about people who eat dog meat in certain countries, he gets soooo defensive and angry. He says it's terrible and disgusting, etc. (you get the picture).
So why is he ok w/ eating little bunnies, chickens and cows but not dogs? Why are we ok w/ drinking milk from a cows boobs (lol) but not from humans?
I don't have all the anwers. I don't judge people and I don't want to be judged myself. I live my life accoridng to what my conscience allows and that's it. Just throwing these thoughts out there and playing devils advocate.
PS - I hope to own a rabbit one day and hubby said if we ever do he will never eat rabbit again because he couldn't eat an animal that he loves (lol).
