Dogs Meat for Human Consumption
In some countries, certain dog breeds, apart from being kept as pets, are raised on farms and slaughtered for consumption. In countries where dogs are popular as household pets, consumption of dog meat is generally considered abhorrent. There are exceptions, such as Korea, Switzerland, and Vietnam, where dogs are popular as both pets and meat.
Dog meat has been a source of food in China from at least the time of Confucius, and possibly even before. Ancient writings from the Zhou Dynasty referred to the ‘three beasts’ (which were bred for food), including pig, goat, and dog. Mencius, the philosopher, recommended dog as the tastiest of all meats. Dog meat is also consumed for allegedly salubrious effects: the Swiss rural cantons of Appenzell and St. Gallen are known to have had a tradition of eating dogs, curing dog meat into jerky and sausages, as well as using the lard for medicinal purposes.
This is the most rediculous thing Ive ever seen. And there lucky that the animal cops dont get sent over there to save them. Thats just sick and it needs to stop. NOW!

As I see these pictures of animals that have been killed, I can not help but ask myself “who are we?” Is it really nessasary to eat meat? Our species in omnivorous, we can survive by consuming plants alone, plus raising and slaughtering animals is a very inefficient way of obtaining nutrients. Yet, most of us still keep consuming meat. Why is that? It’s not only just dogs that are suffering, all animals that are even semi-intelligent should be spared. Unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, no mobile intelligent lifeforms should be damaged or destroyed for any reason whatsoever. Period.
