Maybe it's brain damage from visiting friends ranches as a kid but tbh most livestock are about as smart as most cats and dogs. Except cows. They're loving stupid. And horses have personalities but are also very stupid. Anyway I guess I'm saying I wouldn't eat someone's pet but it wouldn't really bother me to eat a dog either. Probably not that tasty though. They're pretty stringy looking

Sheep are ambulatory vegetables. The Vegetable Lamb of Tartary was onto something.

Yeah. I mean, personally I wouldn’t mind eating cat or dog, except everyone I know who has has said they taste like poo poo. Dogs are even traditional for some guys fairly close by. I can understand, of course, being emotionally attached to an individual animal though.

Now I might just be an ignorant city boy, but I've always thought that there's a slight ethical difference between slaughtering a bunny for food, which one would assume wouldn't take very long and hence not cause much unnecessary suffering (if done properly), and letting that bunny get torn apart by a dog, which one would assume would do that.

Cats and dogs (i.e. wolves) were predators that were domesticated to help humans with vermin control and hunting. Anthropologically they occupy a very different place in our collective psyche than prey animals we domesticated to eat.

Except in all the places where people eat cats and dogs. Your premise is invalid.

There's nothing wrong with eating dog, in my opinion, it is very inhumane how they Nash their souls in with sledgehammers before butchering them.

this really doesn't sit well with me because "never again" and "do something" were the same kinds of protestations being made during Aleppo in 2016, and it feels like the same kind of slimy liberal-humanitarian call for interventionism

does that make sense? I feel like I'm going crazy here because it's not like I'm denying that China could very well be treating its Uighur population badly, but what's "the rest of the world" supposed to do? airdrop Seal Team Six into Xinjiang?

diplomatic pressure to grant Uighurs exit visas

and lol if you think anyone is serious about calling for interventionism against china

Rabbits are uh, flighty. They tend to die whenever they get chased enough. So usually they suffer cardiac arrest before the dog ever gets to them

Dogs are apparently also known to tear through walls and cages to get to rabbits, terriers anyway, often injuring themselves in the process.
