Similarly, we don't eat human flesh because we have affection or some emotional response to every person who crosses paths in our lives. I emotionally react to my parents. I emotionally react to my wife, my boyfriend and my in-laws. I also emotionally react to every stranger I have contact with or may potentially do. Hate and love are emotions. As long as you can feel either sad or happy, angry or cool about something, that is an emotional response. When you see a steak, do you have an emotional response to it? No, you do not. However, you do have an emotional response to the taste of beef or the memory of it tasting good. But by then, you have placed it in your mouth. So again, my argument holds valid. It is a potential to be food as long as you are not attached to it in an emotional way, like herds of cows and sheeps, flocks of chickens and schools of fishes You are emotionally attached to your pets, so that is why currently, you all see eating dog meat as something 'out of this world'. Please re-read Gordone Ramsay's quote again. So again and again and again, please get your emotions and facts right. Dog meat can be eaten. Full Stop. :hat:
