Would you?

I wonder if that's true. I kind of hope not, because I like animals but I also like a tasty meal.

Well, I saw a video on snuffX that was over 8 minutes on the topic, and the footage that was shown, along with the info that was given during and in between some of the clips... it was pretty disturbing. They hung a dog, they threw a dog into a giant tub of boiling water, starved some dogs and forced them to stand and walk, etc.

Why is it that seeing an animal suffer affects people worse than seeing a human suffer. It seems like in horror movies, and in real footage, it's always more sad to see a dog's life ending than a humans...

PETA much?


Nah, just kidding, you're alright. Interesting though. Sad, yeah, but interesting.

Because they're more defenceless is why, I think. The difference between a human killing a human and a human killing a dog, or many other animals, is that the victimised human is more capable of defending themselves than the victimised animal. For this reason, we take more pity on the dog.

As for the issue of eating... I don't actually know. There's no way I could eat cat or dog.... but I could eat a horse. Only if I was offered it, however. I have no idea why... but my morals just don't forbid eating such an animal. Maybe because I've never been close to one. I do not know. II guess I could eat anything that isn't kept as a domestic pet.

Yes i would, i mean why not right? It's food, it's different if itdoesn't taste good then you can tell other people about your experience. Me personally would like to try all different meats i would like to try whale to see what all the fuss is about but yeh im a chef so different foods apeal to me.
