I grew up in a culture where certain foods are seen as "exotic" or "disgusting" by people who didn't even try to take a second to learn about it. We eat goat, guinea pigs, frogs, etc. Granted we don't skin them alive, but we also eat lobster, crab, and crawdads which we boil alive(they die very quickly). I think a crawdad is on a completely different level than a dog, but there are some who don't and woud damn me to hell for eating them and that's their prerogative. Or there's people who think any animal is considered a meat source and will eat anything. Different strokes, different folks. Animal torture =bad, what animal(s) you eat is your business. Hopefully no one will take anything I've written out of context.
| Nothing is taken out of context at all -- it's crystal clear what you think/feel about this issue as you've plainly stated it several shocking times now. And then you contradict yourself immediately afterward. You say above "Animal torture of any kind is wrong in my book" - -and then you proceed to justify it in the very next breath. What the...???

I don't think it's okay with how any of these animals are treated. However, I eat meat so yes, it'd be hypocritical for me to speak out and try to put a stop to what they choose to eat. If you care that much, you should come up with a humane way that's also profitable for these butcher houses. That's the only way that you'll see change.
| You "don't think it's okay" for how these animals are treated...yet it's perfectly okay to do nothing about it bc you eat meat. That's not even logical in any way, shape, or form. Doing *nothing* about things that are wrong in the world and making excuses to live that way is why change happens so slowly. You're part of the problem instead of the solution. Quote:

That's why most countries think we are arrogant. We criticize on their culture without looking at our's. We are just as bad.
| We're not criticizing culture here, who the heck cares which culture is doing this? We're speaking out against TORTURE AND CRUELTY to living beings, for petes sake. And MANY of us here also speak out against what we do in our culture too, btw. Maybe you missed the Animal Welfare section here? |
