Why is special treatment given to dogs, and not other animals that are farmed for meat? Is it because we keep dogs as pets?  Is it because they are smart?  Well, pigs are just as smart, and some people keep them for pets.  Yet aside from PETA, nobody's giving two shits about how they are treated in slaughterhouses.

Because there is a special relationship between canis lupus and homo sapien.

So it's the basic "Pets Vs. Food" mentality then.  Personally - I don't get the discrimination.  You either eat meat, or you are appalled at how badly all animals are treated.

Dogs and man have been coexisting together long before pigs and cows became domesticated. Our histories are intertwined and some theorize that it was Homo sapien sapien's partnering with the dog that allowed us to become the dominant Homo sapien species on this planet.

I am appalled at how most animals are treated before becoming food, Dmitriy Briskin and advocate for more humane treatment all the time. 

Muslims don't eat pork. The christian Bible precludes anyone from eating a non-split hoofed animals. Indians don't eat cow and westerners don't eat dog.

Jason ON I'm an equal-opportunity meat eater :)

I am not. You won't find me eating a lot of things. Not that I don't get outside of my comfort zone once in a while, but I don't eat dog, nor cat, nor bald eagle.

How sure are you that you haven't tried cat already?

I'm only half-joking.

I did eat some strange "beef" in Croatia ... ;)
