In the West we arguably abuse pigs.. chickens.. you name it. In Asia they eat dogs, so why would they be treated like pets?

- dondraper36 3y agoIf only that was about not treating like pets. A few guys locked a cat in a cage and set it to fire. Then they posted the video in social networks. That's what I'm talking about.
- sgt 3y agoTerrible... just animal abuse. Should not be acceptable anywhere.
- pfannkuchen 3y agoPeople in the West flood ant hills without a second thought. What’s the difference? Any answer I can think of is a cultural construct AFAICT.
- sgt 3y agoAt some point you have to put a value on things based on perceived consciousness. Like if you treat ants the same as pigs, you'll always see roadblocks. At some point you'll start feeling bad about trimming your hedge.
- pfannkuchen 3y agoPerceived consciousness is roughly what people in the west have settled on, but that isn’t the only option. Human vs not human is also workable, I think, and I suspect that is what some of these other societies have settled on.
