South Korea passes ban on dog meat consumption
South Korea’s parliament passed a bill Tuesday banning the breeding and slaughter of dogs for consumption, ending the traditional yet controversial practice of eating dog meat after years of nationwide debate.

In the attempt to seem intellectual, people say the craaaaaziest things. Is it that hard to believe that dogs are different from other animals, both domesticated and otherwise? I don't even think you need to be an animal behaviourist to understand that some animals are much, MUCH more emotionally intelligent than others. Comparing a dog to a chicken or cow is just nuts to me.
Aren't dogs as or less intelligent than pigs or something ? We murder an unfathomable amount of them daily and that doesn't seem to bother anyone.
Pretty sure pigs will eat meat too
You don't seem to know a lot about cows. Maybe you should check out some of these short videos and see if you still feel the same:

Might be hard to believe but I don't put much weight in tiktoks
Not at all, you seem exactly the type to ignore the evidence staring you in the face.
Dodo videos? Nah, I'm good thanks lol
You could always read a research article like this one or any of the ones cited in the numerous pages of references, but I'm guessing you won't.
That was a good paper, but it inferred complex emotional capacity from things like "these herd animals feel comfortable in herds," and "mother cows were distressed when separated from their calves". It also says that in terms of cognition, they are less intelligent than pigs and goats. It's a great summary, but not a smoking bullet. And I'm not sure what you believe about me, but I don't think cows should be treated poorly. Just that dogs should be treated better.
Fair enough, I see your point and I do agree that dogs should be treated better, but more because of the fact that we bred them to be man's best friend and I think we owe them as much. It seemed to me you were implying that they were incomparable, and I suppose we could have avoided some snarkiness if I hadn't implied you were ignorant about cows, my apologies.
👍🏽
There are countless studies proving the high emotional intelligence of dogs. People are conflating this with general intelligence with pigs. Sorry you're being downvoted, you're not wrong.
