The argument of eating dog
Summary:
There are the illigal trade in the Southeast Asia, people opened the reastaurant in Vietnam. This essay reported by the John D. Sutter who is a columnist for CNN Opinion and creator of CNN's Change the List project.
On the one hand, dog is the friend in the most of Amerian's eyes, there are the best friend for people. They also regard dog as the family members, feeding them advance food and take them to the "dog daycare". But somebody would sit in a public restaurant and order dog from a meanu, it is very cruel and repulsive for eating dogs for dog people.
Luke Duggleby, who traveled to Thailand, Lao and Vietnam for this story, illigal merchant make the trade for dog including hundreds of thousands of dogs per year. Because no part of it is illegal in Vietnam.
On the other hand, the writer State's William Saletan said, "the value of and animal depends on how you treat it, if you befriend it. it's a friend. If you raise it for food. It's food." editor said if we cannot eat the dog, why we can eat another animals such as pig or cattle. If we don't eat the dog, may be we have the long time with dogs, but it is doesn't mean everybody think so. It is always the hard problem for us.
Commentary:
In china, it is also a problem about eating dogs. Chinese city dogged by criticism over dog-meat- festival. Residents of Yulin in Guangxi province consider the festival an accident summer solstice tradition, many cherish theis city's dog-meat culture, which involves the mass consumption of dog meating hotpot served with lychees and strong grain liquor.
In my opinion, it is depends on the technology development mainly. Before 19th century, the technology was not fully developed, therefore, animals such as cattle and horses were the main labors for production. During that period, human being have a close relationship with animals. Since the industrial revolution, the production process had been totally changed, animals can not help that much anymore.
Basically, people pet dogs because they are loyal and help us a lot. But in some cultures, dogs are not considered as pet, therefore people should not judge others from another part of the world based on their own values. Personally, I don't eat dogs beacuse I like them, however I would not judge people who eat dogs.
