You'd think that's the case in every country but the article feels the need to mention it twice... where in the world aren't you allowed to kill your own animal humanely...?
actually a lot of animals practice cannibalism. Most insects do. Most fish and sea life do. Most rodents do. Most reptiles do. Most amphibians do. The list goes on.Originally posted by: jjsole

what about the soylent green option then? we have lots of people who die and we have lots of starving people. Aren't we just hypocrites for throwing out all that viable meat? Or is there perhaps some difference in perception between meat we consider acceptable food sources and those we consider off limits?
Way to take that one into the outfield.
Indians think we are crazy for eating beef. Muslims think we are dirty for eating pig. We think the French are weird for liking horse.
You cant really hate on other cultures for what they consider a food source. Taking it to cannabalism doesnt work.
it's just meat. it works for sharks and theyve been around for a few hundred millions years. also works for rugby teams stranded in the andes.
Its not just meat. Most species on the planet do not engage in cannibalism.
You're welcome to serve up your family at the appropriate time tho, if you haven't already.

There was that village in Africa where they ate their relatives after they died.

You can't go out back and shoot your dog in the head in the US. That's as humane as it gets, but you would probably face charges.

I've been thinking about it, what is the difference between killing and eating a dog and a pig? They have been shown to have comparable intelligence and are both living animals. The only difference is YOU get attached to one and not the other because of your culture whilst this man sees both as edible animals. You can complain about moralities and what have you like in that article, but then it just go back to the old poem of the "The White Man's Burden" which satires the belief that your culture >>> their culture and therefore you must force everyone to live by your rules. be Animal rights groups FTMFL.
Do animal rights groups specifically protest eating a particular species? I'm pretty sure they never say its ok to kill chickens but not dogs. They just don't want either animal to be tortured, or animals in general to be eaten at all.
Except dogs have been man's companion for 100s of years so obviously people will have a stronger bond. Tell me when a pig or chicken has protected a family, saved a life, assisted a disabled person, etc...
Again your society, not his. Not all societies domesticated dogs. Use context, I don't care about your background, this is not about you, which seems like such a hard concept for some people to grasp. It's about him, his culture and his society.
Also tell me the last time a chicken bit and killed a child.
Except this individual is living in a society that frowns upon it. Maybe, he should move back to Tonga. If I come from a society that allows the cannibalism, it should be alright to perform it here?

Stop the meat eaters! Allowing them to behave in this sick and perverse way only serves to let them stand one step closer to eating human meat!!!
When overpopulation looms and global warming has destroyed all our crops it's only natural that we'll eat the most successful animal on earth.

Well, some people treat cows, pigs, even chickens as "pets" for awhile, but they are eventually slaughtered. They're just as domesticated as dogs, and pigs can be as intelligent. Its hard to accept it, but when you look at it logically its no different.

Plenty of people do this. I had a pet Dog in Korea that we killed and put into a stew. It was delicious. But mostly they use "bad" breeds more or less specifically bred for the purposes of eating.
