Is eating dogs moral?
 

Asian countries like China think it's okay. Koreans think beating a
dog to death will release hormones that will make human eaters
sexually more virile.

Is this okay or is it just Western cultural bias that finds this
custom kinda sick?

Boar's head brand dogs are quite good, thank you! :-)
They use real casings and they are sugar free and lower in
sodium than most dogs.

I like to serve them with chile.

Many of the early Arctic excpeditions planned on using dogs for food. As
they used up their supplies and needed fewer sleds, the extra sled dogs
would be killed and fed to the remaining dogs. The people would of course
eat the dogs if needed.

In a cultural context it's just as moral as eating any other living
thing, including humans.

And Antarctic, too :-)
Roald Amundsen in "South Pole" was very exited about this unique feature
of dogs that you can feed dogs to dogs and to humans.
They loved and and worshipped their dogs but did not hesitate to kill
and ate a dog when they could not use it anymore.Fascinating to read.

Nations that eat dogs consider them as livestock - not different from cow.
Different culture, that's all. In Africa they eat apes.

Thats a funny comment coming from a Korean. The Japanese while they seem to
eat everything
else won't touch cats and dogs. Something that parts of China and Korea can
not say.
During WWII undoubtedly everybody including Europeans ate dogs.
But the issue with dog eating today surely is because the practice continues
in peace time
when food is plentiful.

I think it's okay if you haven't named them.
You should never eat anything with a name.

Seriously, though, as much as I love dogs and
cats and wouldn't think of eating one, I don't
think it's inherently immoral, any more so than
eat a cow or deer or chicken or pig or fish, etc.
Each person can decide for herself what animals
she considers proper to eat or whether or not it's
proper to eat them at all. It's a person choice.

Hey, you are finding excuses.
Would you ate pig known to you as number 48/7 :-)
Generally speaking, your suggestion is to never
eat an animal you have personal relations with?
That is not what happens in small farms.

I think cultural restrictions/acceptions of society are
not less influential at least when choosing 'what not to eat'.
One could be lynched for eating pig in Iran.

Well, then, I guess that's why I'm not a farmer.
I guess I would have a problem actually *eating*
a pig with a name, but I sure couldn't kill it.

When I used to spend a lot of time on my grandfather's
family's farm they often killed a chicken for dinner.
I would have nothing to do with it - couldn't even
watch! But once it was dead I loved helping to clean
it and as a preteen I was big on science and biology
so used to do experiments while cleaning a chicken like
measuring the length of the intestines. I also would
save the heads in a jar of alcohol and then at a later
time I would dissect them. I loved dissecting eyeballs.
None of this grossed me out. And I loved eating the
chicken, but I was "chicken" to kill one.

I realise that, but I was just talking about what
would be considered moral vs. immoral, not about what
would happened in any particular place if you ate any
particular animal. You could consider it perfect
moral to eat a pig but refrain if you were in Iran
because you knew what the dominant culture felt about
it. Or you could do it in secret. ;-)

Anyway, as far as I am concerned I still consider it
a personal choice. However if a person subscribes to
a particular religion and accepts all their tenets that's
their problem.

You are lucky.
Small rural farms are known breeding grounds for immorality ;-)

I have a confession to make:
I took part in murder of Boris the boar back in 1983.
Nobody had guts/skills to kill the beast with a knife.
Had somebody shot him into the ear finally.
(One special thing about guns - make killing much easier to commit).
Pork was delicious, anyway.

More confessions to follow.

Had animals names there? I bet they had.

Easy. They scan Internet for serial killers, you know.
I should google for "I loved dissecting eyeballs".

I think "particular" is the key word for that matter.
Eating some cat suddenly becames moral during particular time
of WWII to save your child from hunger.(I am not sure about
particular cat still).
In some particular province of China most people (that means
half billion :-) ) loves dog's ribs stewed.

My fault,I should not choose such extreme case.
Let's not speak religion, speak cuisine.Much safer :-)

Yes, but within cultural bounds.
Less diversified - more bounds.
BTW, I read somewhere that cuisine is last die national
distinction. Agree? I do.
Say, when last time you were tempted by fried crickets? :-)

Well, killing dogs for food isn't much of a crime, but torturing it
with slow death is BIG time crime. Japan history has a culture of
torture both for sport and study - from Shogun to Unit 731 - and they
include humans! Hope history does not repeat, come future wars.

Why resort to torture? It only brings out the ugly side of a people,
nothing to brag about even if it is for 'scientific research'. Unit
731 put on a stain and stigma on the Japanese, which will take several
more decades to erase. Nothing glorious for sure, whether it is for
the emperor or not.
