Dog meat should be served at USA resturants

"I admit, that argument is overrated, but I don"t think anyone is seriously considering we should be eating mankind"s best friend for lunch either ;)" Con "Fatal dog attacks in the United States are a small percentage of the relatively common occurrences of dog bites. While at least 4.5 " 4.7 million Americans are bitten by dogs every year, only about 20 to 30 of these bites result in death, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention" wikipedia 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. "A total of 21 deaths met the case definition for 2003"2008" wikipedia Dogs kill over five times the number of humans as cattle. By these statistics cows are a better candidate for man's best friend. "As I"ve hopefully already alluded to, these countries are in the minority, are comparatively impoverished, have terrible human rights records, and very few (if any) are actually part of Western civ. Countries like North Korea and China should not be lecturing us about cultural sensitivity when they have an inclination towards totalitarian governments and could honestly care less about cultural diversity and democratic rule of law."Con 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. "We shouldn"t think of this issue from a cow or chicken"s point of view because we"re human beings, and the human mind is far and away superior to animal ways of thinking." Con There are many forms of intelligence. "1. Verbal " the ability to use words 2. Visual " the ability to imagine things in your mind 3. Physical " the ability to use your body in various situations 4. Musical - the ability to use and understand music 5. Mathematical " the ability to apply logic to systems and numbers 6. Introspective " the ability to understand your inner thoughts 7. Interpersonal " the ability to understand other people, and relate well to them" 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. I'm thinking chickens would rather not be dinner, and thus another food goes on the dinner plate. "Unfortunately, in the United States, your view is in the minority. And our democratic society is clearly ran by rule of the majority. In this country, cows taste good and dogs don"t. So again, unless we want mass protests, riots, and a PETA organized boycott on hot dogs, the U.S. should not legalize dog-meat." Con 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. "Dogs are also worshipped by Hindus, believed to be guarding the doors into Heaven (https://en.wikipedia.org......). So out of respect to millions of Hindus also, we shouldn"t be selling dog-meat. " Con "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 "A Murder Over Beef Exposes Indian Tensions" wsj.com I conclude that while a dog is considered sacred in Hindu religion a cow is revered even higher. "Its different because of the ethics involved. Chickens do not hold nearly the same level of regard in human society as dogs." Con 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. I argue that chickens have just as much a right to live as dogs. This is discrimination and prejudice based upon species. There is no moral justification nor logical reason that dogs should be more highly regarded than chickens. Either both dogs and chickens go onto the dinner plate or neither. Lest you practicing discrimination. "Changeforanimals.org never implied that are humane methods for slaughtering dogs. Your video shows no evidence of a dog being humanely slaughtered. " Con Your missing the point. As I said earlier "changeforanimals.org implies that there are humane methods for slaughtering animals" Pro The video shows that pigs and other animals are not humanely slaughtered. Changeforanimals.org implies that are humane methods for slaughtering farm animals like pigs and chickens with the below statement. "No country in the world has devised a humane method of slaughtering dogs for commercial dog meat production." changeforanimals.org The quote is misleading in the sense that it implies some animals can be slaughtered which humanemyth.org debunks the myth of humane slaughtering. https://en.wikipedia.org... http://www.cdc.gov... http://www.wsj.com... https://en.wikipedia.org... http://www.macalester.edu... http://www.changeforanimals.org...
