I don't have a problem with you eating dogs, if you so desire and you know how much I love Jupiter.

Surprised?

We're going to have to come to an agreement though. You've got to start with the Chihuahuas and useless purse dogs. Then all the other non working class dogs.

Then, you have to switch over to barbequing some long pig Republicans and work your way through any sort of evangelical. Dude. It's a public service. And come on, you know Josh Hawley et al would look great on a spit.

Then maybe the royals is it won't give you indigestion. Again, public service. In these trying times we sgould be mindful with our consumption.

Then back to dogs. Start with the guard dog variety, dobermans and the like. Move on up from there, saving the hound class for last. After all the other dogs in the world are gone and you haven't had anything to eat for 20 days; you're literally on the cusp of death; then and only then could we possibly maybe have a discussion about maybe eating Jupiter specifically. And the answer is still no.

This is a hill I'm willing to die on, but it's better if you die on it. Just saying.

Lol.

Yeah. I completely agree that we should avoid allowing ourselves to fall into some sort of moral ambiguity about our eating habits. But, I think the breakdown is not quite by species.

It doesn't bother me that some Asians and other cultures eat dog. They have a premium on protein, otherwise they'd choose tastier animals because dog meat is tough and stringy. Certain bugs are tastier. But I haven't invested, emotional or otherwise, in those dogs. I'm sure Indians feel much the same about us eating cows. And the fact of thr matter is, a lot of us value certain animals over a lot of humans do various reasons.

Would you rather eat a fellow human or one of the last humpback whales? Or a polar bear?
