I'll eat just about any meat if you hand it to me. I might draw the line at human.

Might? Hmmm.

No, not 7 Borzoi. 3 Borzoi + 2 unwed mothers, one 100 pound pup from said unwed mother and an unloved, ill behaved chihuahua, but I repeat myself, that someone dumped at a gas station and "we" have successfully fostered for a decade. Want a chihuahua? Call it 3 on-purpose (self inflicted, if you will) and 4 blessings. They poop everywhere, dig pit traps for me in my yard paths and guard the house from the infamous UPS & USPS peoples that are out to get us. To date, they have successfully scared off every UPS & Postal employee and made them drop what they are carrying. But they are wily and keep testing the defenses. Even at 2 in the morning, outside the bedroom window, they will sound the alarm, such is their dedication to duty.

And I thought the kids were bad about keeping me from sleep. These are the sacrifices I make for love. Twue love. But enough about me. How is supper?

Food's food. I wouldn't eat human in a daily situation, because that's just begging for a zombie virus to develop, but if I were starving... human burgers definitely would go on the menu.

Aww well that’s awesome you took all of them on.

So, if I’m understanding correctly, companionship is not a valid purpose for obtaining an animal or otherwise..
Do I want to ask what the Crazy Lady’s “purpose” is, then? Or would you rather get it over with and have the dogs sicced on you first.

Any purpose that you justify, is valid for you. Crazy Lady's purpose was lengthy, relentless, and irrefutable. In summary, she wanted them.

I once made the mistake of telling a group of classmates that I would eat dog meat.
Didn’t make that mistake twice.

Shallow minded classmates. Good on ya for broadening their minds.

Hey, if I'm hungry, don't get in my way.

Donner Party for one.

Btw feel these dogs responses are appropriate for this entire conversation right now.

Hey, I just said it WOULDN'T be on my daily menu. That's a good thing.

Oh, man. Did your nickname immediately become "dog eater"?

This was right after they found out I was going into veterinary medicine.
“Oh my god, you want to be a vet?!”
Dig up, dig up!

Okay wait... I must ask... not like any dog, right? Are there any particular/extenuating circumstances to this?? Like that you’d only eat it an emergency, etc.? Or you would just try it just to try it like any other meat on vacation or something??

Meat is meat. I don’t really get it.
Of course I wouldn’t eat my dog. Nor a cow that I kept as a pet, or my favorite chicken, or even a pet fish..
If I knew that the dog was raised and slaughtered humanely, I don’t see how it’s any different to ethical cattle farming.

Raising animals for meat is all about respect. I’m less of an advocate for eating dogs, more of an advocate for acknowledging that all animals think and feel and hurt.
Even the ones that you buy prepackaged from the grocery store.

Exactly. It's not like I hate dogs, it's just that I don't see why their lives have more value than the CX I bought from the store and cut up for a stir fry last week.
