You probably don’t know how pigs are treated at most farms and at slaughter house too.
For them dog is a farm animal. Some people has pigs for pets too. Does it mean we shouldn’t eat pig too?
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.
