Score one for the carniviores

I was looking at this thread in the AFI board and it's asking how many people aren't a vegan, this guys response to this other guy is priceless.

I find no reason to eat something that doesn't harm me. Most american would cry at how people in asia eat dogs...well that's their norm. I just chose not to eat anything with loyalty or a concious.

Ahhhh, I love how this all suddenly becomes objective. Why shouldn't the Koreans eat dogs if they so wish? They are farmed in better conditions than a lot of meat from the USA and Europe. Korea is a totally different culture to the West and do not view dogs in the same way that you do. That does not make the fact that they eat dogs wrong. Dogs are considered livestock in Korea, not pets. Look beyond your own idea of what a dog is before you start this sort of nonsense. Honestly, I don't think most Americans / people around the world are shocked by the fact that they eat dogs in Korea becase they understand that it is culturally different to the West.

You see it very black and white? So, essentially, what you see is that animals are the equals of humans? That's not even insane, it's just stupid. Do you not realise just how obtuse the suggestion that if one eats one sort of meat one should eat it all is? Many people I know eat what they can / could kill themselves. Thankfully, most of those people I know wouldn't be able to kill a human. I don't know about you, but I'm thankful for that.
