Dog meat consumption, a centuries-old practice on the Korean Peninsula, isn’t explicitly prohibited or legalized in South Korea

      True. While I don’t think humanity doesn’t have to avoid consuming animal products as a whole it would be great if alternative protein sources were cheaply available (and ideally subsidized) so that cheap meat products become unappealing.
      Simultaneously we should have a higher standard of treatment for animals and beef in particular should be much less available because of its extensive influence on the climate.

        Really none of it is safe. When you think about how COVID is a zoonotic infection that jumped species, breeding animals for food and the conditions they are kept in, full of feces and infections, it’s not really a surprise.

    Thank goodness for these “animal lovers” that are okay with killing and eating more than 10 land animals per year + god knows how many sea creatures. But hey, they bought some incestuous pure breed dog from a breeder for thousands of euros so they can pretend they care.

      Lol, you would think vegan people would celebrate any reform in meat eating industries.

      But yup, let’s attack any imperfect movement that lessens cruelty 👍

        It would be replaced by other meat, so in the end it doesn’t really matter. Dog meat is just as bad as pig meat, in this regard. This kind of reform is purely because we like dogs and not pigs.

          So no progress is better than progress because progress offends the specifics of your views.

          I guess we should never shut down slaughterhouses while humans still hunt or fish too huh?

        Eh, veganism is more a religion than a coherent and logical system of action.

        It’s emotional, not logical, in terms of the people and how they think of things. Don’t ever expect reliable consistency as regards this kind of response
