There is an order to nature.
The dog has set himself aside as man’s companion, protector, servant and most of all, friend. Dog and man have a special relationship that is unparalleled anywhere in the natural world. Mutual admiration over the generations has built a bond that is now pretty unbreakable.
You may equate dogs to pigs and juxtapose morality in killing either but your thin argument doesn’t even address the fact that dog is man’s FRIEND and will be until the end of time. Pigs and cows are man’s food and will be until the end of time. If you cannot tell the difference between friend and food, I really don’t know what to say.
I contend it is far worse to turn our backs on our faithful friends that have been with us since the beginning than to kill a deer and eat it.
And I am under no illusion--as the Leftists are--that pristine nature is all peace and harmony. It's a bloodbath. Or, to paraphrase Herman Melville (Moby Dick), its creatures have carried on endless warfare since life on earth began. However, I intend to participate as little as necessary.
You can do as like.
