Why? /tenchars

[derpkitteh]

there are objective moral truths to the world.

western society is morally correct on this issue.

in an ideal world, nobody would need to eat meat, not even other animals.

[Socialhealer]

"An estimated 17,000 other such farms still operate in South Korea,"

great 46 dogs "saved" millions being eaten, those dogs are kept around the same way we keep cows or sheep, should south korea "rescue" 46 cows from america now?

TLDR : i don't see how this is news.

They eat animals available to them such as dogs, north Americans eat animals available to them such as cow and pig, Aussies eat animals available to them such as kangaroos... If we find a 15 legged flying squirrel on Mars when we eventually populate it, were going to eat that too.

I'm pretty sure if these guys bought these dogs at the "list" price for what they would have sold them for that the farm over there is not too worried about it..

What's the point? This is as equivalent as India buying 46 cows from us.

It isn't, I think some people want to feel like they made a difference.

Why what?...

[derpkitteh]

Biggest pile of garbage idealogy i ever read. How do you think we evolved from single cell organism? By being a vegetarian?

i don't really care how. if we could prevent the destruction of life, it would be nice.

we can't, sadly.

once we master genetics, maybe then we could alter everything in the world into herbivores.

What? care to explain?

If they want to they are more than welcome to come save them. They just need a volunteer organization to do it.

It isn't "news" because you may not be a pet owner.

[Ichifails]

Why what?...

Why would someone bother saved a few animals that are bred for food? As someone else said before, it's like South Korea "saving" 46 chickens from the US.

I mean good for them for saving the dogs from horrid conditions but that should be the take away here not that south koreans eat dog like it's some ass backwards practice. Meat is meat.

"Ideally" we wouldn't sleep either.

[derpkitteh]

What? care to explain?

an ideal world where no life needs to be taken.

cats are obligate carnivores, they must eat meat or they die. humans can live without meat, but it's an unhealthy existence.

sadly, an idealistic world cannot exist yet.

ideally it would be a choice. not sleeping could get maddening after a while.

While I personally wouldn't eat a dog or a cat or a horse(who knows, I may have). Who am I to condemn those that do?

i've had a dog before my nan has had like 2 dogs i've watched them all grow up from pups and grow old and die.

what you need to understand is they're not around to be pets they're around for food, if koreans suddenly stopped eating dogs all those dogs would just be killed and no more would be bred, same as cows, well except we would use their leather and have to throw away the meat but you get the idea, they are farming those dogs, even if they had bad conditions lets not pretend chickens aren't kept in horrible conditions either : battery hen.

Not necessarily.
In this "ideal" world our bodies would so accustomed to it we wouldn't know the difference.

Fucking savages!

I have seen videos where they boil dogs alive just cause they think it makes them taste better! I swear the howls of pain is unbearable to hear and i wish i could go there and boil those fucking savages instead!!

[ItachiZaku]

On the flip side, that's 46 dogs that'll get put down here that won't get adopted or will live their lives in little no kill cages.

I need funding for my trip to africa to persuade wild lions to eat tofu.
