rats have been trained to sniff out bombs as well, and make loyal pets too- what’s your point?

Uh...never mind Bob

[rhoda_penmark]

Exactly. Thank you.

If you have raised pigs, then you have raised animals which are smarter than dogs...for food.

If you eat pork, you eat animals smarter than dogs.

Neither are made in the image of God.
Humans are.

Don’t eat humans and you are fine.
Throw a fit about other people’s food and the only difference between you and PETA is...well there isn’t any.

Interesting. First, though, I want to make it clear that
I am not throwing a fit about anyone’s meat eating habits.
Yes, some researchers believe that pigs are smarter than
dogs. But some researchers also say that it is like
comparing apples and oranges. Besides, is relative
intelligence any more important than loyalty? Maybe if
piglets could have displayed some loyalty to humans as
puppies did eons ago maybe their descendants could have
escaped many more BLTs.

I am not going to bust on the Korean culture; hell I remember when I could go to the butcher shop and buy horse meat here in California.
It was better than beef, more lean, not as good as mutton.
Now horses are pets and it is illegal to slaughter them for food, 50 years ago they were just livestock.
In Korea and a lot of the rest of southeast Asia dogs are livestock and not pets or family.
I would not even consider eating my 7 boys and girls, even if I was starving to death. Of course if I starved to death they might eat me, can't think of a better way to dispose of my corps other than to feed my family.
Just leaned over to pet my Honey Bunny (178 pound English Mastiff, she snores when she sleeps by my chair), she requires a lot of calories per day.
My dogs are my family, I would never allow any body to hurt them, hell they get better medical care than I do, but in Korea dogs are considered livestock.
Someday, hopefully they will recognize the connection between Man and Dog and realize it is devine and given by God.
Hell in North Korea they will eat their brothers and sisters.

If there ain’t no dogs in Heaven I ain’t goin!

[5th MEB]

Watch where you put your feet. he,he.

[Bob434]

well in heaven it’ll probably smell like roses, and be good for our feet’s skin condition or something

I have 7 dogs ranging in size from 52 pounds to 179 pounds, that’s a little to much skin conditioner even for me.
Seems like I spend a good portion of the morning picking up land mines in the back yard.
