It matters on how it was raised, culled and cooked as well. but no, seems fine as far as protein sources. but ask yourself as a cook and a person do you have the skill to raise a happy healthy meat dog, cull it properly, then cook it well enough to do it justice?
it's no more cruel than eating pigs, which are pretty smart and emotional animals as well
But what's really wrong with it is that they don't fucking taste good, and they don't have a good texture either. Fucking gooks only eat them because of the same chinese "medicine" retardation that makes them eat the poop of young boys (not joking). It's a complete nonsense practice.
>>2395922
after all you don't want to take a good meat animal, raise it wrong, cull it horrifyingly wrong and end up with a crap quality dish.
>>2395916
herbivores have better tasting meat though
>>2395925
This
I'm not completely opposed to the idea in the case of an economic crisis or some kind of disaster or whatever, but raising dogs to eat for traditional reasons or whatever seems absurd. It seems way too fucking impractical when you could raise cows or pigs and get much more meat.
>>2395925
Worse yet, most of the dogs used are either kidnapped dogs or one's taken off the street. Usually only a southern chinese hick would do.
>>2395916
People tried raising these things for meat, didn't work out great. Too long to grow, meat isn't great, amount of food fed to meat produced in horribly cost ineffective, litter size too small, etc etc.
If the animal was housed and slaughtered humanely, no.
The problem with Yulin is that there is a belief that stress makes the meat taste better and is more 'potent' so they subject the dogs to that on purpose. Which is fucked.
I would not mind eating any animal so long as it was treated humanely.
>>2395916
breeding carnivores as food is a bit stupid
it is ok if they are treated humanely

efficiency doesn't really matter to people that pay $30 for a lobster or $60 for an elk carpaccio or $500 for a couple bites of caviar.
cost isn't the limiting factor in what we grow to eat.

Nothing wrong with this, same as being less concerned over the life of a stranger than the life of a friend or family member.

Alongside horses, dogs are pretty much man's greatest evolutionary allies, if not the greatest.
The bond and deep connection between these animals and humans were a significant part of human development and evolution.

If anything, dogs should especially be exempt from food consumption.

I've had dog before. It was in a heavily flavoured stew so I couldn't really pick out what innate taste it had but it tasted like standard meat pretty much, no worse than any other. I could see myself having it again.
I really want to try cats but I don't want to go to China and it's not like I can just nab one off the streets either.
>>2396732
I'd eat human if it was humanely bred and legal (and wouldn't taste like shit which we probably do). Just think of a race of humans specifically bred for human consumption. They'd be naturally bigger and have a generally lower IQ and shit.
Now that I think about it blacks are a very good candidate for livestock.
>>2396765
That's a bad idea, and for objective reasons, not just moral spooks.
Humans, being humans, are very vulnerable to diseases that affect humans. Who'd have thought?
And even a dumber breed of human would still be smart enough to be a royal pain to raise as livestock.
A pig has the same amount of intelligence, possibly more, and the emotional/loving capacity as a dog.
Why do you feel nothing when eating them or thinking of their slaughter, yet you cringe and cry over dogs suffering the same fate?
You're a speciesist.
>>2396861
>You're a speciesist.
Yeah, no shit. Nobody said they weren't.
>>2396861
If pigs don't wanna be eaten they should be of a different use to us than just cheap livestock.
>>2396863
Great, if people admit they are biased in their dislike of certain animals being eaten, they can see how others might also be biased but in a different way and thus they may realise that their tastes are subjective and completely idiotic to impose on others.
>>2396865
Pigs can literally do every job a dog can, people just don't train them because they see them as nothing BUT live stock.
Also >implying 99% of dogs do a job and aren't just some fat chick's accessory or guy with a small dick's overcompensation
>>2395916
No problem if they're treated as well as pigs, I would eat them. But dogs bred for food usually get treated terribly.

i don't give a shit if people want to eat them. just don't torture them before death. no animal deserves senseless suffering.
>>2396867
Can Pigs boar hunt? Defend a house? Fox Hunt? Chase criminals? Act as bomb defusal, act as livestock guardians?
Do they require more food, more nourishment and more space?
There is no justification for killing another sentient being against it's will. If you defend killing / eating animals you cannot possibly take the position that raping animals is wrong either. Also
>it matters to me that animals are murdered "respectfully" or "humanely"
Cognitive dissonance at it's finest.

man chinks are retarded
>>2396765
Aren't Europeans (especially the Dutch) the tallest people in the world? And aren't Americans and Mexicans the fattest? Why would you want to eat some skinny African?
What I have a problem with is when people (read: Chinese) steal dogs from people to butcher. I can't imagine the ordeal of a dog being taken away from its established home to be killed and eaten in a strange place.
>>2397065
>The person I replied to is the only person in the world with a dog

My only issue is how they are kept and killed. Same goes for livestock animals. In recent years I'm kinda iffy on bow hunting since that's a shitty way to die too. Sure some go down in a few minutes but it's not instant and I've seen a fuck ton of deer with just an arrow sticking out of their side.
I'd be down for eating dog. I would human too but that's if they're going to die soon anyway and are down with it. If there was an option of my license like there is with organ donations, if I'm dead I don't care what happens to my body. Mount me up, eat me, fuck me or throw me in a ditch. Im fucking dead and if Hell is real then boy do I got a story for them.

>consider dogs friends/companions
>consider cows food
Literally nothing wrong with this unless you put every animal under the same umbrella, personally I don't give a fuck if people eat dogs if those dogs were born to be eaten.
>>2396731
That's a bad analogy. For one, you're judging potential food animals based entirely on their appearance, not on personality, personal history, etc like you would with a friend or family member vs strangers. You aren't judging dogs different based on intelligence or a capacity for emotion or pain either, since pigs exhibit those traits just as much, if not more than, dogs do.
Secondly, it's not being "more concerned", you're implying that it's okay to kill and eat cows, pigs, chickens, etc but not dogs. The equivalent to that would be saying it's okay to murder and cannibalise strangers, but not anyone you personally know and like.
Lastly, you're implying that an entire species, not to mention it's probably the single species of animal with by far the largest variations in appearance, behavior, intelligence, etc, is somehow equivalent to your friends and family.
>>2396732
>dogs and horses as a whole were important to us in history so individual dogs and horses which have no concept of history at all should be exempt from consumption
Also, horses were originally domesticated for meat. It wasn't until much, much later that people began to use them for transportation and labour.
>>2397047
>Act as bomb defusal
They literally do this
>Chase criminals
They literally could do this. Pigs have a sense of smell just as good as dogs, hence why we use them to find truffles.
Also, dogs are actually pretty bad at sniffing out drugs, bombs, missing children, etc. They can very easily detect those things through smell, yes, but their psychological desire to please their master means they'll often give false signals if they believe it's what their master wants to see.
>>2396731
Why do you consider dogs to be more closely related to you than humans?
