Eating dogs is inhumane. Did you watch the video? We could improve our treatment of other animals. How is blow torching or shocking a dog going to help a cow and pig. Both are wrong! You don't solve one problem by creating another Thank goodness this practice in South Korea has been banned. |
This isn't about pit bulls. Take your irrational fear elsewhere. There are plenty of anti pit bull threads. Take it there. Ban breeds don't work fyi |
as stated, eating an animal (which a dog is) is not inhumane. How they treat it is inhumane. Torturing a cow as they torture the dog is inhumane. You seem to be fixated on eating one animal over another. If you want to argue about treating animals inhumanely, then I agree with you. But eating a dog, in and of itself, is not inhumane. |
There are enough dogs being euthanized in the US that this is not ok. If you care about animals you'd be a vegetarian and feed your dogs and animals a vegetarian diet. It's silly to argue value in one animal over another. This seems completely shady. They have people checking in the dogs as their own and handing them over to the rescues to resell. If this were legal, the rescues would bring the dogs over themselves directly. |
First of all, dogs need to eat meat to be healthy. My dog is not going to be vegetarian. Second, you seem to think dog meat and other meat ( chicken, cow, etc) are all the same. They are not. Dog meat is quite unhealthy for human consumption. I will post my information again : https://www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/major-human-health-concerns-associated-with-the-dog-meat-trade/ Third you can help dogs in this country AND also around the world. It's like sending money after an Earthquake in California and Italy. We send help to those we can. To me eating dogs who have been our companions is unethical and inhumane. I do wish we killed cows, pigs etc more humanely. And what do you mean shady? You said yourself that rescues here have their hands full. If you don't care about these dogs why do you feel the need to comment? Why do you care if other people are rescuing dogs? |
No dogs don’t need meat. You want them to eat meat. How many animals died to feed your dog. I’m not sending money to anyone. How about helping people instead? There is no humane way to kill animals. If you are an advocate stop eating meat. Simple. |
Dogs can be vegetarian.

I am an advocate for not eating dogs and cats. Not meat in general. So no I will not stop eating animals that have been consumed for thousands of years. And neither will my dog. If you don't support this group than don't send money. Simple! You don't get to tell me whom I can support or not. I help people and animals btw. And no mention of the fact that eating dogs is extremely unhealthy for human consumption. There are better ways of killing animals. And btw where is that person who claimed these dogs have been killed for a ' purpose?' There is nothing more to say really. |
Ps why do people like you think humans are the only living things that need to be helped? Most of the problems are caused by humans! |
In your article it disputes what you say. It says dogs require certain nutriants only animal bases products can give! Sure they can but is it beneficial? No! |
I agree that banning breeds won't work, but one of the benefits of bringing in rescue dogs from other areas is that bully breeds are less prominent. I can't speak for Seoul, but I know for The Sato Project they put a lot of money and effort into running spay and neuter clinics and treating street dogs. |
Bully breeds are the most abused and neglected dogs and yet we blame them instead of the humans. Ever wonder why? |
We blame both. Their genetics are crap and their owners and proponents are generally shitheads so it's a perfect storm. |
I disagree. There are tons of good qualities in American pit bull terriers and Staffies! I have a mix ( with other combos) and he is very loyal and affection with his family. If anything his Australian Shepherd/ Siberian husky makes him nervous around strangers. |
Our neighbor has a dog from Puerto Rico and he could not be sweeter. A dog who needs a home needs a home where ever they are willing to take him in. |
