Why is it okay to eat pigs and not dogs and horses?!


Question: Why is it okay to eat pigs and not dogs and horses!?
It has been scientifically proven that pigs are as smart as dogs, so the cuteness factor hardly holds water for anyone's argument of why one should be spared the dinner plate and not the other!. personally, I don't agree with eating dogs or horses, but anyone who enjoys a BLT or a baked ham should think it's okay to eat a horse or dog!. Any thoughts on why the imbalance!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think Desmond hasn't taken the time to think through what society has told him is and isn't acceptable!. I think he still needs to learn to think for himself!.


Personally, I do not think it is ok to eat pigs, for the same reasons that it is not ok to eat dogs and horses!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I imagine that most pigs are more meaty than dogs!. Dogs probably have a bit more muscle!. And muscle isn't as delicious to eat!.

So my best guess is that pigs taste better!.

also, although pigs might be as smart as dogs!.!.!.they don't have the body structure to do half the things that dogs do!. Not to mention they burn easily because they don't have fur!. So they probably freeze fairly easily too!.

Pigs are far less hardy than dogs!.!.!.!.and they taste good!.!.!.that is a double whammy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think a lot of it is quality of meat!. People used to eat horse!. People still (in non-US countries) eat dog!. I have a friend who went to Korea and tried dog there!. He said it's just like really fatty beef!. Not great, but not bad!. I don't know about horse!. But if you notice, people in the US tend only to eat the better quality meat (no innards, etc!.) also, dogs and horses are considered 'pet' animals!. People don't like the idea of eating their pets!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, I don't think anyone really knows why, but it might be because pigs are dirty and people want to ge rid of them, but they actually help clean i think and I think some people do actually eat horse and dog, I mean it is really not that disgusting!. Food is food!. Some people eat squid, octupus, snail, and snake!. Probably many other things, too!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. so!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. O!.K!. !.Www@FoodAQ@Com

nothing scientific about it!.its a cultural thing,arabs eat camels,jappanese eat whales,chinese eat anything that 'has its back to the sun'(cats,dogs,puppies,kittens and any endangered species!.africans eat 'bush meat'chimpanzees and anything else they can catch!.food is food!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

In our culture some animals are viewed as pets and others as food!. Some cultures think eating horses and dogs is o!.k!. Others think eating any animals is wrong!.

It just depends on the rules of the society you were raised in!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
