Tragic, yes. i didnt say it wasnt. but just because a fair amount of people create emotional attachments to other things, life as well as material objects, doesnt mean anyone else has to. looking at the worlds population as a whole, id bet there are more people on the planet that would eat those dogs than wouldnt. again perception. Think about how many dogs and cats there wouldnt be if the hungry in this country didnt get foodstamps, If the homeless hunted them...
one of lifes greatest lessons you can learn is tolerance for other peoples beliefs. As long as they arent forcing hot Dogs down your throat.. meh.. is what it is.
I understand some people really feel the need to "make the world a better place" but really... nothing has really been done to make the world a better place.... ever.
humans at a base level are flawed. You may be able to alter a small portion of it, or control a small group, but the planets inhabitants have always been the same.
just as some people will get where your coming from, so will a few get what im saying.
keep in mind, im not arguing with you, quite the contrary actually. just making a point to consider in the discussion. Its healthy to keep an open mind and question even your own beliefs.
