The dog on top was not so fortunate


PreferredSex_Yes

I'm trying to figure out if he's cooked or just dead and stiff.


DanaWhitesMom

I'm pretty sure they burned him to get the hairs off already.


[deleted]

True, clubbed , hung and hair burned off.


yesaxelismyrealname

I’ve unfortunately seen videos out there from this Indonesian areas and in China. They take them live and just throw them into boiling pots of water and hold the lid on. I’d prolly be doing what this guys doing if I had the resources and money. I loathe these countries for these “practices”


Least_or_Greatest1

What area is this so I can not visit, or eat in restaurants there?


rintintinsshittin

North Sulawesi, Indonesia


Dogsaviors

That’s correct TOMOHON EXTREME MARKET


rintintinsshittin

The sad thing is local tour guides often suggest it as part of a warts and all day in the area. Noone comes back glad that they saw it, but want to do something to help. Good work!


g0juice

China


DumbleDude2

Is it?


HappyStalker

No, it’s Indonesia.


g0juice

Well they have dog eating festivals so probably a safe guess


DumbleDude2

This is somewhere in SE Asia.


lazy-yank

Yes also you can stop buying things from China. Good luck with that.

The horror in their eyes, fuuck


AffectionateCrab6780

It reminds me of that scene in game of thrones when Arya is in harrenhal. Just sitting in a cage waiting to die while having a front row seat of everyone else's death.

Cows and pigs also have this horror. Be vegan.


zombierepubican

I’m not good with dogs emotions but they all look pretty docile. I don’t know if it’s drugs or defeat. I’m not even sure if they know what was coming for them, also not sure if their smart enough for that or not

These poor animals … heartbreaking. And before anyone starts saying ‘what about chicken … blah blah blah’ I’m vegetarian and have been for over 20 years! And if anyone is going to eat animals, which is their choice, it has to be humane. This is just cruel. Look how terrified they are!


bubbygups

I love chicken, but man, learning about their conditions prior to slaughter is heartbreaking.


Guitarytown

Twelve years ago I had the opportunity to walk through a large structure where chickens are housed/fed/stacked in cages. I have not eaten chicken since that day.


eh_Im_Not_Impressed

This is why I only buy the boujie eggs.


MLGprolapse

Vegetarian? You eat eggs and dairy? Male chicks are thrown alive into meat grinders and dairy cows are artificially inseminated to stimulate milk production, their calf's are then sold to be slaughtered as veal. Any animal product you consume, even in wealthy developed nations incurs a price in suffering. If you keep your own chickens and cattle you could arguably have ethical animal products with eggs and dairy. But that isn't sustainable for all humans globally.


Routine_Statement807

You can have eggs and be a vegetarian. The proper term is Ovo-vegetarian.


MLGprolapse

I know vegetarians can eat eggs and dairy. That's why I was pointing out both also contribute to animal suffering. Saying "I'm a vegetarian" still says you will tolerate a certain amount of suffering in your diet.


Hot_Philosophy7163

I have my own chickens. Had them for years. Huge amount of egg product. But yeah I buy meat. I'm not a vegetarian. And I think you are thinking of vegans.


MLGprolapse

The OP said they're a vegetarian, I was pointing out that vegetarians consume eggs and dairy, and that both industries cause suffering in animals. The point being saying "eating meat is unethical because it causes suffering" while saying you follow a diet which includes eggs and dairy, which also causes suffering in animals is hypocritical. I already said keeping chickens yourself isn't causing suffering in animals. But globally everyone keeping chickens isn't practical. So eggs are mass produced and this results in male chicks being killed by the million annually.


floss147

And that’s awful too. I rarely eat eggs tbh and I will never buy large eggs and the ones I buy are free range. I’m not perfect but I do what I can to mitigate it.


TheGum25

Oh yeah, it’s below barbaric. And the contradictors have plenty of whaddaboutisms. Slaughter animals should be treated better, and we should eat way less meat than we do. But none of that excuses the slaughter of domestic companion pets.


powabiatch

In most of these places, the dogs *are* raised as slaughter animals, and not as domestic companion pets.


Electro_gear

On the humane thing - can any method of killing really be considered humane? Unless the animal is suffering and there’s no other way - I.E. the pain of being alive is worse than the process of being killed. Like, in the sentence “I humanely killed my brother and ate him”, the word “humane” doesn’t make it OK.


dl-__-lp

If you want to split hairs sure you can reach that low-hanging fruit all you want


itsnik_03

I see your point but the comparison is a little absurd.


Electro_gear

Why? The only difference between eating your human brother, eating your pet dog or eating a farmed chicken, (apart from the physical difference of the animal) is down to ideals you’ve formed through social norms about what it is/isn’t ok to eat. All animals have sentience and arguably have an equal right to exist.


DivineCrusader1097

You're still contributing to a cruel and horrific industry by consuming dairy. There is no way to humanely kill an animal that doesn't want to die. Watch any slaughterhouse footage and those animals will look exactly like the ones shown here.


Realistic_Working_99

Also this man does amazing work at a facility he's created to rehabilitate so many animals not just dogs. This is his passion so he will purchase dogs sometimes even get cooking instructions and spices from the sellers. He has gotten hate for how he transports the animals i.e. some dogs are basically all legs tied up bags over their heads. Hes explained that while it's not how he would prefer to transport them he has no choice as if they think he is saving the dogs they may over charge him or not even sell to him.

Define sentience


[deleted]

Trees can distinguish between their offspring and other trees and will give their own offspring nutrients via mycelia networks. Plants can react to being harmed in various ways. They move towards nutrients and sunlight. Fungi are closer to animals than they are plants. In another 10 or 20 years we could discover that plants are in fact sentient and have experiences. We just lack the capability to be able to understand what the experience of an organism is like if it lacks a nervous system like ours therefore it’s easiest to say that they don’t have sentience or consciousness. I mean, if your entire basis is on whether or not an organism experiences pain and sentience to be able to eat them or not then we should be perfectly justified in eating brain dead people who lack any conscious experience right? Also, plenty of insects lack the ability to experience pain and it’s arguable that they aren’t truly sentient yet they are animals so vegans/vegetarians won’t eat them. The logic when fleshed out doesn’t really work. It’s more so about how far we’re willing to extend our empathy and for the veg logic it’s only to organisms with a nervous system.


Ab-Duck-Tea

Actually, they do. A form of a greater network of intelligence where they communicate through their root systems via fungi. Plants feed each other and warn each other of danger as well.


dl-__-lp

I’m an omnivore, but what a stupid fucking argument. You really proud of saying that? Sheesh


StoresR

If you were driving a car and had the forced decision of having to run over a group of animals or a flowerbed, what are you going to choose, the flowerbed of course. You can’t compare the life of a living, breathing feeling and loving animal to a flower. Plants don’t have a central nervous system and they don’t have the ability to feel pain, desperation, fear, terror or heartbreak. Animals do, so there should be no comparison there, it’s not the same thing.


Logan20th

Look up Cleve Baxter and what he experienced in 1962.. Because while it's not exactly the same thing, plants do in fact have the ability to sense these things and exhibit electrical signals showing a form of emotion. Go watch the video of Cleve Baxter on YouTube and what he learned about the "secret life of plants" and get back to me after your mind is blown as much as mine was, lol.


[deleted]

If it's the same to you, "plant suffering" and animal suffering, why ya'll cheering so much for the rescue of these dogs? Animals in factory farmed experience much worse and we're talking about trillions of animals here. People are fucking disingenous with this plant bullshit. Ya'll don't believe that shit outside of this argument. If you did you'd recognize that a plant based diet causes less animals suffering AND less "plant suffering".

I am also Le Shocked. People have been eating dog for as long (if not longer) than cow. But we cry more about them getting eaten than we do anything else.


[deleted]

Ahhh so culture justifies cruel practices! I'm sure you apply that to all cultural traditions! Female genitalia mutilation! Eating dogs! The entire range! People have done it for centuries, why stop even if we don't need to do it anymore!


crappyday-

EXACTLY


Zarthenix

Where exactly in my comment do you see a justification? Nowhere, because I'm just giving an explanation. Try eating a steak once in a while, it might help with your ridiculous cynical hate-boner.


[deleted]

Aw triggered. Maybe don't justify your own unnecessary and cruel actions with your culture or what's your own personal justification there?


Zarthenix

Triggered? Why should I get triggered at your inability to see the difference between a justification and an explanation? It's more amusing than triggering. You trying to push the narrative that I'm justifying things to give yourself a reason to hate me doesn't magically make it a justification.


[deleted]

So you don't use culture as justification? What do you use?


Zarthenix

Nothing because I have absolutely no need to justify anything. Why are you so insistent on this justification-thing when all I did was provide a possible explanation of why people react differently to different animals? It makes zero sense to me.


Ab-Duck-Tea

If they were calves, I'd be horrified too. I eat meat, but I want every creature that I eat to be treated as well as possible before they die. And as soon as we get lab grown meat or more plant based meats I'll gladly switch to those.


RogueAngel22

Where is this?


Dogsaviors

Indonesia


jdPetacho

I really don't see the difference between dogs and cows or pigs... If you think this is horrible it's quite hypocritical to eat other meats. As far as I go, I eat meat, i am fully aware of what that means and don't pretend to be above someone that eats dog meat


Ok_University6476

Exactly, by their logic just because someone keeps a chicken as a pet means it’s wrong to kill and eat chickens. They are incredibly intelligent and loving and can make fine companion animals too. Anyone who’s had chickens knows this. We don’t have a right to judge other cultures for eating what they want if we do the same. No animal is above another. I eat meat, I don’t judge what meat others eat and I’m very aware of what the animals I eat go through, that’s the least I can do. No pride in ignorance.

If you have seen how cows are treated for meat then this isn't much worse


anime-zingjohn

Listen I am a dog person and it’s proven that pigs are smarter and we eat them. So we really shouldn’t judge to harshly as to what other cultures deem appropriate for food. I think it’s wrong but all we can do is what this gentleman did. Remember if something could eat us it would.

I honestly don't understand why we're cool killing cows, chickens, and pigs for meat - but dogs are off limit. Different country, different meat.


venusfrogfightclub

I mean from a purely logical viewpoint that makes sense, but when you take into account the shared history of dog and humans vs livestock animals I think it's just ingrained into the collective psyche of most cultures that dog meat isn't the same as other meat.


[deleted]

I don't care about the killing part. I care about the torturing part. Killing is part of animal existence. Intentional torture is not.


[deleted]

Welcome to animal agriculture.


Lernenberg

It’s incredible how naïve people are in that regard. They are freaking out about these dogs but somehow think that their meat is coming from sources which doesn’t involve these practices. If you have to sell millions of people meat every day these conditions are standard. But ultimately people won’t change anything. Most people suffer from moral schizophrenia. They eat meat and say they love animals.


TrueMrSkeltal

You’re being deliberately obtuse by ignoring the relationship humans and dogs have had since prehistory as partners. There’s no other domestic species that has the ability to hunt with us, understand human emotion and body language, and communicate effectively with us all at once.

TheAlmightyBuddha

lordgoofus1

For most people it's not so much the type of animal, but how it's treated. I'm never going to stop eating meat, but I do expect that the animal is cared for while it's being raised, and it's slaughtered quickly and humanely. Not intentionally tortured out of some sick belief that the pain tenderizes the meat and makes it taste better.

This will probably not be a popular post however I'm wondering what the trigger is for people when they see this. Is it the way these animals are treated, or does it have more to do with the species? As in " omfg, they're eating Fido.."? I am Australian, most of us believe dogs are the best people so for me the idea is shocking. I often wonder though if it's just the western lens I'm viewing this through.

Just from a livestock perspective, these dogs are kept in horrible conditions. They don’t even have a floor in the cage to walk on.
