        When I hear the words -controversial issue- or -respect other culture-related to torture of sentient beings I become crazy ! Just an hypocritical way to hide indifference, personal interests & the lack of human values. Not something to be proud of my dear @AlexShibutani ‼️

        Shame ! A dog is more than a friend It helps us in so many ways as helper, rescuer, to find drugs and lost people. It deserve love and respect, a family and not a senseless death.History and #neuroscience ( @gberns ‘ studies)talk about Dogs better than me.https://twitter.com/hopeesperanz/status/943178107237949447 …

        See @CARErightnow . Dog meat is not legal in #SouthKorea. And should be stopped, many #Koreans are asking for that.

        well - pigs would be considered pets to some. And you are also equating what is considered a pet in THIS country. It's brutal I know but India is horrified how we treat cows...

        I stand by my statment that anyone who eats that meat (especially if you see how they TREAT the dogs and cats before killing and eating them) is a sick fuck

        I understand. I’m an animal lover and not condoning it. But I’m not going to pretend that’s “more” awful. We often criticize others to justify our own actions. Life is life no matter what the animal is .

        Not sure your point. And your obviously missing mine? The only answer to animal abuse (for food) is for the world to go vegan.
