      Puppies aren’t housebroken and their meat would be very tender.

        they can be housebroken, though.

          Then they’re no longer a puppy but a dog.

          Besides, cows can be housebroken. https://www.cnet.com/science/scientists-show-cows-can-be-potty-trained-just-like-your-favorite-pets/

          There’s also pigs. Pot bellied pigs were a popular pet a few years ago.

            so I guess there is no difference at all. I can take em to the dog park and watch em run and tussle and play fetch…

            it’s clear they are different, and saying they’re not is just a lie.

              I mean, I’m not a vegan, but yes, you literally can. Pigs are generally regarded as intelligent creatures in the same vein as dogs.

              it’s clear they are different, and saying they’re not is just a lie.

              What animals we eat and which we don’t is a purely cultural affectation. There’s nothing wrong with a cultural affectation, but there’s not a fundamental difference between what creatures it’s okay to eat and which it is not okay to eat.

                even among animals we eat, there are clearly differences. denying this doesn’t serve anyone.

                  In parts of Africa, monkeys are eaten. In parts of Asia, dog is eaten.

                  Cat is generally not eaten in most cultures outside of spiritual and crisis contexts because it’s stringy, apparently.

                  Our tradition of not eating certain animals is just that - tradition. It’s not anything deeper, and certainly not universal.

                    this has nothing to do with whether there is a difference between dogs and cows, which there clearly is.

                surely you are referring to the people who no longer want to defend dogs and cows not having a lick of difference

                this doesn’t change the fact that dogs and cows are different
