Does culture Justify eating Dog Meat ?
Dog meat is consumed in a lot of different places around the world, Korea , China,Taiwan,Vietnam,Switzerland, The Arctics,Polynesia,India,Philippines,Nigeria,Mexico,Canada.
Among these Korea, Vietnam and Taiwan have dog meat as part of their everyday Cuisine. Other countries have pockets here and there where people use Dog meat.
Culture is the justification used by most of the people using dog meat. They justify what they are doing by saying that in their culture dogs are used for meat. This is not true even in Korea or Vietnam Dogs are not solely used for meat they are as else where used as pets and guards. The Korean Police even has a dog squad. Dogs trust their masters, and dog farmers are using this very trust to kill these dogs. Dogs get attached to humans easily and therefor they bond with humans and this trust is used by the farmers to kill the dogs easily.
Culture has nothing to do with dog meat, its economics for these farmers dogs are easy to raise compared to other animals require less food per kilogram sold and require less expenditure per kilo than other meats. Another fact is that they have interbred dogs to get easily weight gaining breeds. Another important fact is that dogs are easy to breed. Dogs are also less sensitive to food that is they can be fed almost anything. Veterinary science is much more advance for dogs than meat animals and medicines cheaper.
Culture has the least to do with these. Dogs are called mans best friend for a reason the trust that dogs keep on their masters and vis versa now can exploitation of that trust for economic reason be justified by culture when it has nothing at all to do with culture?
