It looks like meat eaters might be the minority on this platform. I agree that technically there’s no difference
in any animal meat trade (barring some details). Vegans got decent arguments for people who don’t beleive that people should eat dogs but beleive in eating other animals. Their arguments aren’t as good if you don’t assign the same value to animals as you do to humans.Meat consumption contributes to the climate crisis and a lot of land is wasted on feeding farm animals. You don’t have to care about animals to reduce or give up your meat consumption :shrug:
I’m not sure how much I beleive it negatively affects the climate. I think fossil fuels have to be alot worse.
Here’s a quick introduction to how meat massively contributes to climate change:

I don’t understand why you would ban it in a country where it has been consumed traditionally. Is there a public health reason behind this?
President Yoon is just trying to grab cheap optics wins, considering he’s an overt fascist that has taken numerous Ls. Banning dog meat does very little, it was already pretty much an eradicated food staple and only harms the lowest classes who had to rely on the cheapest forms of meat to sustain themselves. Everyone who could afford better meat was already only eating it.
Functionally, there’s no difference between a dog, a pig, or a cow, when it comes to life value. There isn’t an economic or moral reason to just ban dog meat other than to make the fascist admin look better.
