Lots of cultures eat horse. I have a Japanese friend whose favorite decadent meal is raw horse meat.
I think eating any meat is fucked up if you’re in a developed nation where it is simple to get adequate protein and calories without animal sources
I also think if you’re going to do it it’s weird to make a distinction between animals that are simply domesticated (like dogs and cats) versus animals that are quite intelligent (like pigs, who are objectively more intelligent than dogs)
Dogs and cats are carnivores. We don't eat carnivores in general, regardless of domestication.
The only odd one out are horeses, who we don't eat in spite of them not being carnivores.
People eat alligator, crocodile, shark, bear, and snake, all of which are or can be carnivorous
Again, you just make a weird distinction. This isn’t even an “American culture vs Asian culture” thing. Gator and crocodile are pretty big in the southeast.
But whatever you need to justify killing a pig that has a deeper capacity for emotional intelligence than your dog does as well as stronger ability for numerical reasoning skills and independent thought
I don't need any justification for that lol. I wouldn't care if people ate dogs either.
I was just pointing out a traditional norm that people usually don't eat carnivores (because they are more prone to disease and are much less efficient to farm).
