This Man Saw A Dog Being Sold For Meat And Just Couldn’t Walk By

Sherry: have you ever looked in a cow's eye? Thats no argument, many animals are kind of innocent & have a soft soul, but beeing eating by humans and animals. Eating animals is everyones own choice, but what makes it cruel is, how we handle them, kill them and that there seems to be no limit, no matter what animal it is.

Listen there is no denying that dogs are extremely unique among the animal/human relationships that exist in the world. We have bred them for thousands of years to work by our sides, keep us company, keep us safe and they have remarkably adopted into these roles to become the longest, strongest and closest animals linked to human existence. We created what dogs are today, we owe them better than this.

We are animal and part of us eats other animals. That's not exactly nice thing, but it's tolerable. I can understand the fact, that another animal eats me. Problem is that we are conscious animals with morals, able to understand pain of others, and still we torture other animals we eat. That's intolerable.

But boiling and skinning dogs alive is the Chinese way of killing, its normal not illegal and regulated. THIS is what makes people angry

If we want to eat animal meat go ahead, but why can't we just kill anything humanely!!??? In this day, i just don't know why we don't!?

What's so shocking about the dog meat trade is how they are killed. I know not everyone kills other meat in the best way.

Show me cows, rats, snakes, or chickens serving in the military or law enforcement, search and rescue, sniffing explosives or drugs, protecting their families, etc. Just because it's cultural doesn't make it right. There's a tribe in India that eat dead bodies but it's cultural right?

Please don't talk about culture when discussing this horrific hideous trade, which by the way has only been going on for about 20 years...it has nothing to do with culture! And culture is no excuse for this evil torture of animals....watch them kill these dogs and then talk culture!!!

Take one look in a dog's eye and you can see their gentle soul. Cultural and be damned it is disgusting!

Really? Its not THAT they eat them. Its HOW. They think they taste better, the more fear theyre in when they die so they torture them. They skin them alive; boil them to death; Chop off their legs while still alive; tie their front legs behind their backs and their mouths shut then drag them into the street and beat their heads in with metal rods; electrocute them; Blow torch them while alive and conscious; hang them and slit their anuses; pierce their eardrums so they cant bark; gouge their eyes out so they cant run away..........And most of them are peoples stolen pets with collars and names, plucked from their homes to be starved, dehydrated and stacked on top of eachother in wire cages. The toss the cages around and if any body part is sticking out it is smashed.....the ones the suffocate and die in transit are lucky compared with the doom that awaits them when they brutally butchered......How do you think that feels?

Very few animals are taken into peoples homes by the millions and millions, sleep in their beds, play and eat with their children,protect them, like dogs, this is why there is a difference !!!

I don't condone any of the actions you listed either. Except maybe chickens as pets. I had one that could swim, play tag, & roll a ball back & forth. We didn't teach him that either. He just saw us playing & caught on.

They hand them by their legs and arms everyday and beat them to tenderize the meat. Then toss them in a cage with dogs on top. Do you have any idea what you're shooting your mouth off about

Cows and rats have never had a bond of friendship with people. It's cruel the way all animals are in no respect but... You can't justify eating dogs after they have been so loyal to us, worship the ground we all on and hold the emotional capacity to create bonds with us. Even give their lives to protect us in some cases. This is demoralizing. Considering this and China's rediculous demand for ivory which is responsible for the pointless deaths of innocent elephants... I have no respect for their rediculous culture.

Does their culture also require they be sold live in bags?

Dogs are mans best friend. It isnt cultural. Its barbaric.

And the chihuahua was originally domesticated as a food animal, IIRC.

if a cow had thumbs and could it would eat you

I agree. JUST BECAUSE the dog is a common pet never makes them deserve more than other animals. Dogs are canines, canines are animals. They are NEVER superior to any other animal!

(it doesn't post twice. There's something weird about BP's comment system that sometimes makes it look that way. So long as you initially clicked to reply in the right place, everything seems to end up in the proper spot, and only once)

Youre probably a dog eater.....If not, educate yourself!! There are so many things wrong with it!!

Why did it post it twice?

Smoking is the smallest problem when it comes to deforestation, get your facts straight. The biggest problem is palm oil, used in food. Watch the documentary "before the flood".

Everyone chooses what they want. It is just called hypocrisy when they criticize others for doing the same. All animals have feelings. You choose to ingore this about cows have, these people ignore it about dogs. Hey, it's all your choice! But don't want anyone to respect it, because it is for nothing but your own satisfaction. If I'd use animals for my sexual desires, how would it be different? I say, you torture living beings because you like how they taste. Oh, but not kitties. Kitties are cute.
