I don't eat mammals, so no steak or swine for me
Also, you either don't know the difference between man's best friend and a cow or you are a Jain Dharma, Hindu or African pagan…or perhaps you are just being a troll.
What is insanity is elevating any animal life to the same level as human life or pretending a dog is any greater form of life than a cow, pig, chicken or turkey that 95% of Americans eat weekly.
When normal people see a domestic dog they don't think “Yum, dinner” unless you are Obama…or you.
There is no difference unless you are Hindu and worship cows. Animals are animals, without souls. They are not the equivalent of human beings.
I don't give a freep what you believe but you and ones attacking Noem are ones that have beliefs as perverted as PETA and animal rights wackos.
You're a little too attached to dogs if you think of any worth than cow or pig. So much so, I wonder if you're not into bestiality.
It comes down to a cultural difference.
A dog can be distinguished between a companion, a pet, a tool, or food.
Most people reading Noem’s story think in terms of companion/pet, and not in terms of a tool (which is clearly Noem’s perspective, and rather commonplace in the rural countryside).
As for those who think of dogs as food, you’d probably have to go to parts of Africa or Asia (especially China or Vietnam).
