The facts are there: the consumption of animal products the way it is done across the vast majority of the planet is not something you can rationalize: it's bad for the consumers, bad for the environnement and, most of all, bad for the animals that are being slaughtered on a massive scale.

Don't fool yourself: I'm not talking about the act of ingesting the flesh of dead animals, which could theoretically be done in a way that doesn't have such a strong negative impact on everyone involved. I'm talking about what's happening in the real world, which is very far from idealized "what if" theories that is pretty unattainable, and an artificial debate construction carnivores use in debates with vegans.

You and I consume animal products. The difference between the two of us is I find the moral objections to the consumption of dog meat to be rationally indefensible, and pretty ridiculous.

Do consume animal products if you like. I'm not a vegan, and I would be hypocritical to judge you based on that. Whatever you do though, just don't make the mistake of assuming your moral system is universal because it's pretty illogical.

In short, get off that high horse.

where did I express any opinion about the consumption of dog meat? my objection is entirely to the bad faith sophistry on display here.

I think I've made my case here, everything I could respond to that is visible in the exchange we've had. Good night!
