why is it bad to eat cats and dogs (1 Viewer)

[spiderfan44]

I agree. However, their argument was very strong towards this statement: western upbringing. Dogs and cats have different values outside the West, thus they are consumed in those countries (not all just some). To me, it's still morally unacceptable, but that is heavily influenced by Western upbringing and I tried to argue against it saying perhaps the consumption of dog/cat meat is ethically wrong, or morally wrong, but there is not enough sufficient evidence to prove this.

i think its fine to still feel repulsed by it. its a pretty normal reaction, especially when you grow up with a set of values and also have a connection with dogs and cats

A bit late to the party, but I believe it may have been partly influenced, otherwise, it is a very interesting topic to discuss and debate, really enjoyable.

It's not considered a pet outside the west, additionally, there are wild dogs and cats too which lack ownership and are not generalised as pets and are eaten. Thus, the stupid thing to do is to make an argument that is ineffective and untrue.

What does being civilised have to do with eating a cat or dog. This is a dimwitted rebuttal, which lacks any sufficient factors on why cats and dogs should not be consumed. Hey, I wouldn't do it, but if someone wants to try it, there not really much to say when its not wrong.

The facts don't lie. I don't support this, nor would I promote this, nor would I do this, but in reality there is no valid reason that can stop someone from eating a cat or dog. Cold hard facts win and that sadly is the truth

Yea man I tried to debate that it was ethically wrong, but again there is no proof in supporting this. Also I apologise for the name-calling, as this is just a friendly debate.

for those who don't wanna read a science report or half hidden sarcastic remarks, we essentially don't eat dogs and cats for TWO MAIN REASONS.

1. moral reasons which stem from cultural reasons within Western socetiety. Dogs are considered pets and companions. You don't eat your friends!
2. Meats from animals like cats and dogs are just generally less viable than other types of protein.

Therefore, the thinking goes why would you eta cats and dogs when they're your friends and there are better options? It's a no brainer!

However, some cultures didn't go down the route of 1. and that's usually where you find them eating dogs and cats.

It's also important to note that most people in the asian countries where the consumption of dogs and cats usually occur have never touched these kind of meats.

I might be wrong tho as I have never thought more about this topic than before stumbling on this stupid thread that I am now forever part of.

ok, i guess its just perceived ethics, if a chicken was regarded the same as a dog then maybe we wouldn't eat it, but still it would be quite retarded to eat one.

Yes but morality has no question in this as its not moral its just influence of western upbringing and two viability does not really matter, as if it tastes good then that's really all that matters right, even if it does I would never do it. It is a stupid thread, but at least it brought a lot of people together and was sure fun.

i don’t think morality and upbringing are completely different things - like then wouldn’t morality not be relevant for eveything? because some upbringings are quite negative compared to others, where everything we know to be wrong is right for them, or vice versa. what’s the point of morality if you can disregard it just because one group doesn’t have the same morals? morality is 100% the biggest factor in this question, in my opinion.

I understand your point, I commend it its true. Although morality is based upon opinion not fact. Morals do not really play a role IMO in this convo. The consumption of dogs and cats have no problem other than morals which are based upon opinion. Thus, if we leave it to this than all there will be is conflicting answers as some will say yes others no. So I believe the facts for this question provide the basis for the answer outside of any moral influence and that is yes it can be considered ok to eat cats and dogs. The reason I said considered is my morality says HELL NAH I AIN'T EATING THOSE THINGS, I MEAN LOOK AT THEM!
