Cute puppies grow up into goofy, still cute doggies.

Cute piggies grow up into fat slobs that roll around in their filth and get wrinkly, and ugly, and have bacon in them.

Yes, so do dogs, but we feed them the bacon, and...they're dogs.

EDIT: *Also can be applied to most married men. They aren't eaten because it's kinda illegal...and stuff.

I second that. I see no reason why pets should not be on the menu. The only obvious one would be to avoid the "my neighbor ate Spot" cases but really they are animals. As many as get put to sleep every year it would keep soup kitchens stocked up nicely and I would have no problem with pets in the butcher shop beside cow and chicken.

So many dogs are put down before it's their time. Maybe pork could be replaced by stray dogs victim to the syringe, with an adopt a dog sticker on every package.

Adult pigs have awesome personalities when you get to know them. Also many pigs are fattened up on purpose by the people who own them. It's not really their fault.

I've never understood why we give any animals rights.

If you told me that by slaughtering 50,000,000 dogs and cats that we would cure most forms of cancer(or any major disease for that matter)... I'd support it in a second.

Yes, just one layer of the mind boggling double standards around animal rights issues.

Fight dogs and go to jail. Treat poultry in the most appalling ways possible...eat lunch.

The whole world is f***ed in the head when it comes to animal rights and 99% of the population is too engrained in their ways to see any truth in the matter.

I just laugh every time people tell me they are animal lovers as they are eating their hamburger/wings/etc.

I know you are trying to be funny, but if you enjoy pets at all, I guarantee you that you would love a pig and/or a chicken (both popular meats) if you raised one.

Both are some of the smartest most interesting animals around.

Dogs haven't been bred for thousands of years as feed stock. They've been bred for other uses.

I wouldn't mind eating a dog. Or course I wouldn't eat my own dog. That is stupid. I wouldn't eat a fish out of my fish tank and they don't care about anything. Of course if I raised a pig from birth I wouldn't eat it. That's why I have no personal relationships with the pigs I eat.

And using the smallest, cutest dog is stupid also. Who would want to eat that? Barely any good meat on it.

I have to admit, it would be pretty awesome to see a pig used as a bird dog...big fat pink thing running around pointing out birds...lol.

don't think they would be very good retrievers either (not being great swimmers and all)...and they would be terrible for uses like cop dogs are.

That's not totally true, fish have lots of emotions that they care about, including companionship, playing around, etc.

I'm not sure if most develop deep one-to-one bonds, but I know they do on some level. They selectively spend more time around specific fish. I had two fish who were sick for 2 months, but still very active, but one died the day after the other. I think the stress after losing a friend made the 2nd fish give up.

Well speaking from experience here dog and cat dont taste NEARLY as good as chicken / pork. No matter how you cook them. Also ostriches crocodiles alligators and other assorted animals dont taste as good either. Chicken is pretty much the best ever after meat.

How dumb.

I eat pig and cow and chicken because it's cut into pieces and packaged/smoked/prepared and delicious and affordable. I would do the same if other animals were too.


I love my dog, yeah, but if I had a pig as a pet or a cow or something I probably would love it too.



Just because I love one animal or one type of animal doesn't mean I can't eat another, especially when we've built a whole system based upon that.

Yup, thats how they all react.

Don't be mad that I point out your ridiculous double standards.

I remember that that thread you made about how you couldn't bring yourself to kill a lizard despite it being halfway dead already and how you couldn't hurt an animal blah blah blah. And yet, you are perfectly content supporting an industry that routinely inflicts pain and worse on animals. Bravo.

And I'm the stupid one. Right.

This isn't relevant to the point at hand. We have not, nor is it likely possible, to breed out the sociability and core emotions of any livestock.

You are a horrible human if you think animals should be devoid of rights. Many adult animals have the intelligence/emotional capability of a toddler. Knowing how much pain and suffering a human toddler can experience, why would you turn a blind eye and allow the torture or excessive suffering of helpless animals?

While I don't personally disagree with you Levgre, at least Chogram is being honest about his opinion of animals.

Unlike the worst kind of people like Cao who spout sappy nonsense about how much they feel for particular animals yet don't give a flying f*** about others, or if they do just don't care enough to do anything about it.

edit: quote formatting is hard.

I don't get why you can't grasp this. I love my dog but don't really give a flying **** about some other dogs. I love some people and don't give a flying **** about some other people.


I can love some animals and not give a flying **** about other animals, and eat them. It's really that simple.

And I'm fine with that.

You don't particular care if animals have rights, but you do enjoy keeping some for company and utilizing the rest for what they are good for (food in your case primarily).

Thats a perfectly.....reasonable I suppose.....point of view, and one shared by many.

Just don't take that stance and then say how much you could never hurt an animal or that you care about how animals are treated. You care about YOUR animals. AS a whole, you don't give a fluck.
