Prices on pork here have already shot up.

Dog is a good meal... especially if the dog’s been raiding my chicken house.

Yep... Lewis and Clark consumed a lot of dog meat on their expedition.

Then there is the way the dogs are being cared for as they are raised; stuffed in cages where they cannot even begin to move

Like the typical chicken that produces eggs. Go to any hatchery web site and look at the cages for sale and how many hens they are designed for. It's sick how many birds are stuffed into a cage too small to serve even a pair of canaries or finches.

I’ve always advocated selling our stray cats and dogs to starving countries for food. Win/Win.

I think she’s saying the same thing you are. Your stomach, digesting protein, is indifferent to the relation between mankind and the species being digested. It just digests what is put in it.

I always buy cage free eggs, now that they are available. I am very aware how the chickens' beaks are cut off so that they don't attack each other in those tiny cages. When I had parakeets, they had a large flight cage. I cringed every time I went to Petland for my lizards' crickets, and saw them selling people a tiny cage that wouldn't even be big enough for a finch to house a parakeet or even two. A big part of the fun of keeps is to watch them play, and they need plenty of room to flap and stretch their wings.

It’s a personal preference. I would not eat another person’s pet.

The main gist of my post was the treatment of the animal in the raising from birth through the stage of death.

I believe there are very few foods the Lord God would not want us to eat.

The manner of raising/treatment of said animal however, DOES matter to the Lord God.

It reflects the Stewardship of His animals.

Now, talking to non-Believers is like talking through a fog, as so many of them have no set responsibility to animals.

It is, however, part of the Stewardship towards animals Believers (Christians) are responsible in THIER actions.

My first in-laws were from the PI. My ex remarked that though they had eaten dog (restaurants, other homes)his pet dog was out of bounds. Not to be touched. He came home from school one day and someone had broken into the front yard and taken it while everyone was away. The really, really hit home in more ways then one.

Well, yours truly was FRANTIC when I had to leave (stop me if you’ve heard this before) my pet dog with them while away on a TDY. I was more worried about my dog than I was about my whole house of items. Didn’t feel good until I had my dog back home.

What? No live monkey brain? How effed up is that? Sounds like the dogs are pissed off about this practice, and have been for at least three years:

A ferocious dog bit over 20 people before being captured by police in Weng'an County of southwest China's Guizhou Province on Thursday. The center for disease control and prevention in Weng'an County treated 23 people, aged between eight and 75, who were attacked by the dog.

When I was in the military, rabbit was often served in the mess halls.

It wasn't bad.

Never had it since. For some reason, you just don't see much rabbit on supermarket shelves or on the menu at restaurants.
