[QUOTE="Bucked20"][QUOTE="Nibroc420"] Well if it's okay to kill the endangered animals, it should be fine to kill animals when there's an overabundance. [spoiler] like people [/spoiler] Nibroc420
Stop it

Social and cultural norms. Most western countries, Animals like Dogs and Cats are considered family members rather then source of food. While in other countries they may be considered both or simply a source of food.

I wouldn't kill any animal unless it's out of defense or hunger. That said I'm not complaining about laws that prevent killing of certain animal. I'll kill a panda and eat her if I had to tho

In the case of dogs and cats, it has more to do with their domestication, it usually not cool to kill pets, and dogs and cats are not considered food in America, so it is pretty taboo to kill them. Do you really want a dog mat?

A lot of people kill animals for fun... and they are not serial killers... also serial killers are people too.

Anyone that kills an animal for fun is at the very least a suspicious individual in my book. Except for kids (not teens, I mean small children) who don't really know what they're doing.

[QUOTE="GamingVengeance"]Your examples are terrible. Chickens are stupid as fvck, dogs are one of the smartest animals On the planet. Dogs can do many things to benefit mankind, from guarding property, to helping the blind , to just being our best friends. Chickens.....nopeBenedictArnold7
Chickens are more useful than dogs in my opinion... Dogs are unnecessary for guarding anything, the blind can use walking sticks and I can befriend an elephant instead of a dog... With a Chicken I can feed my family and I can also be amused by how it walks and stuff.

:lol:

You have issues and should seek professional help.

Actually I heard that dogs taste really good.

I would go crazy if someone ate my dog, but that is because he is a pet.

If I kill a chicken to make myself chicken parmesan... nobody bats an eye.  BUT, if I kill a dog to skin it and then use him as a door mat there is great outrage.  I can kill thousands of fish for fun, but if I kill one cat for fun it's the end of the world.  How do you make sense of this?

because certain animals taste good and are easy to kill/raise, while others do not taste good, and are a pain in the ass to kill/raise.

Its easy to have a chicken ranch and kill them by the thousands, but a shark farm? Fuggedaboudit

It's because of the human relationship with the animal. Dogs are taken into a household as a pet and friend and not thought of as good in western society. That goes back to our ancient bond in the initiation of the domestication. Chickens and cows were bred for food. There's really nothing more to it.

Different cultures view animals uniquely. For example, Hindus believe cows are sacred creatures because they are the providers of milk to humanity and some Christians forbid eating any unclean animal like pigs who bathe in mud.

Cultural norms, I mean I couldn't kill anything like a dog, I love animals like cats and dogs... I probably couldn't kill 100% of what I eat either. It's always easy to ignore that fact after it's gone through processing.

Some animals have historical uses aside from being food. So historically, eating a dog would be taboo because they are useful when hunting other animals. This stigma has stuck around over time and now the dog isn't just a pet used for hunting, (As hunting isn't necessary anymore) but considered part of a family.

Technically I couldn't kill anything, I'll eat chicken, deer, cow, pig, as well as other animals, but I don't think I could actually kill it. I am a hypocrite, but what can I say I like meat.
