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

    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

          I do also make compelling rational discourse on the matter most of the time. Other times I make emotional ones out of frustration. Like all humans, I/we are a balance of rationality and emotion. One is not better than the other, they are complementary. You know, the whole apollonian vs dionysian thing.

          On the contrary, I would argue that non vegans dim their emotional response, thus throwing away the very thing that makes them human.
