Dog meat should be served at USA resturants

"Man's best friend kills 20-30 people each year. I am serious, for society to grow and change we need to serve dog meat. Compare this to how many people die from cattle attacks." I’m pretty serious too. In 2014, the United Nations reported that 84% of North Korean households suffered from malnutrition while its communist party leaders spent $645 million on luxury items and another $1.3 billion on its missile programs (http://www.nytimes.com...). Were the United States to legalize selling dog-meat it would compromise our credibility as a champion for human rights while handling a propaganda win to North Korea so as their government would never have to change its ways. Selling dog-meat at US restaurants is therefore a national security issue. "Dogs kill over five times the number of humans as cattle. By these statistics cows are a better candidate for man's best friend." Dogs that go rouge on society can be put down. There is still justice here. Cows are not a candidate for man’s best friend because they leave massive dumps and have a difficult time playing fetch. "Yes, but we are being like a totalitarian government by excluding and repressing their traditions. Instead we should embrace ethic diversity by serving dog meat."It would actually be better to take a stand against totalitarian governments by not serving dog-meat. We ought to be different than China and North Korea. "As you can see chickens have superior physical intelligence. I conclude that chickens are smarter than humans. Therefore, chickens should have the superior mind and should decide." Chickens are not smarter than humans. The issue is not a matter of "physical intelligence" anyway, its a matter of ethics. And animals have no understanding of human ethics. "Being in the minority does not make one incorrect nor immoral. There has been plenty of historical examples where the just minority succeeded. Viewpoints can be changed." True. But rule by the minority would be undemocratic. "The revolt started, among the Indian soldiers of British East India Company, when the British introduced new rifle cartridges, rumoured to be greased with pig and cow fat"" an abhorrent concept to Muslim and Hindu soldiers, respectively, for religious reasons. " wikipedia Which only demonstrates what would happen if restaurants started serving dog-meat in places where people would be sensitive to eating dogs; aka the United States. "I conclude that while a dog is considered sacred in Hindu religion a cow is revered even higher." Not in the United States. "I agree that is the USA and many other countries dogs are regarded more highly than chickens. This doesn't make it right nor does this make sense in today's world. There seems to be no reason other than this is the way we've always done it." You made an argument before that we should protect other people’s traditions, so I guess Americans should also protect theirs. "Either both dogs and chickens go onto the dinner plate or neither. Lest you practicing discrimination." For it to be considered illegal discrimination, dogs & chickens would have to go to court first. "No country in the world has devised a humane method of slaughtering dogs for commercial dog meat production." changeforanimals.org There are no humane ways of slaughtering dogs because its not possible to humanely slaughter dogs for commercial meat. Dogs are pets, not food. And “Dog Lives Matter.” Thanks for the debate! Good job.
