This is very true. I was just thinking the same.

I'm not hung up on it. I just wouldn't be able to do it. And I feel sorry for the animals we eat here in America as well.
Wow! I’d have to be mighty hungry!The only meat I buy is beef jerky and sardines. If I could single-handedly do away with slaughterhouses I would though.
I don't think I could bring myself to eat a dog. Why is it more gross to eat a dog then a cow/bull?
"Dog meat is the flesh and other edible parts derived from dogs. Historically, human consumption of dog meat has been recorded in many parts of the world.[2] In the 21st century, dog meat is consumed in some regions in China,[3]South Korea,[4] Vietnam,[5] and Nigeria[6]and it is still eaten or is legal to be eaten in other countries throughout the world. Some cultures view the consumption of dog meat as part of their traditional, ritualistic, or day-to-day cuisine, while other cultures consider consumption of dog meat a taboo, even where it had been consumed in the past.[7][8] It was estimated in 2014 that worldwide, 25 million dogs are eaten each year by humans.[9]"

Eating dogs is pretty disturbing.
One time, when I was a young teen I unfortunately watched a documentary called Faces of Death, where they showed a restaurant somewhere (probably in Asia), where in the middle of the table, there was a hole just big enough for monkeys head, while his arms and body stayed below.
...Well, everyone took turns clocking him on the head with a hammer until finally his brains were exposed. Then they ate his brains.
Of all the parts in that movie, that one I just can't forget. How cruel. What kind of person does that kind of thing?

I just heard an interview with the guy who made that movie.
He said it was a pretend documentary.

I wouldn't put it past someone to do that. Mankind has a history of treating other human beings worse than that.
Be cautious about viewing the world thru the lens of movies.
They're all either fiction or agenda laden.
I heard that this Onion piece was believed, & caused howls of protest.

You should be relieved to know that the "monkey brain" scene was faked, as was much of that series.

Reminds me of this scene:
I ate a couple of chili cheese dogs the other day. Good stuff.

Yes, meat eaters have a moral duty to kill humanely. And yes I do eat meat and try to live by that rule. I grew up on a farm and we not only raised our own cattle, but I would go hunting as well. Wounding an animal is the worst thing one can do when hunting.
And welcome back Franky!

Was that a scene where they ate the brain of an investment banker?

In our culture dogs are viewed as being loyal companions, of course. From that perspective killing and eating them seems like a heartless betrayal. (regarding cats though, I say "Bon appétit!"
IMO, just because we kill animals in a manner that soozes our guilt doesn't make the killing any less killing. People don't kill animals for enjoyment. The Chinese are not doing it for their enjoyment unless you consider fine dining a form of enjoyment then we're all basically killing animals for enjoyment.
You really think that humane slaughter is just about our guilt? There's no difference between using a bolt gun or skinning and gutting an animal while they're alive or beating them to death in your mind?

Someone who would do that to a dog, I would not trust in other matters. That seems quite Psychopathic to me. They could probably do the same thing to a human being.I could not imagine skinning a dog alive
There's a folk belief that torturing the animal will make the meat tastier and the person who eats it healthier and more virile.I could not imagine skinning a dog alive
