Well then, no I wouldn't. I wasn't raised with lambs as pets, they were dogs. I have respect for dogs, they've always been there for me. It would be a dishonor to their species to eat a puppy. Hell, I think it's a dishonor to euthanize them or nuder them.
I'm trying to stop eating meat in general, but quite honestly it's hard to give a shit about chickens or turkeys because they're so goddamn dumb. I still need to meditate on that one.

Pigs arent dumb. Something has to earn your respect to have it's life valued? Did you grow up with dolphins and whales? What about monkeys....are they ok to eat Also pheasants hsve pretty intricate social behaviours but people eat them too

They eat dogs all over Asia. Yet people have a problem with this  I know. ..I'm just trying to figure out what the difference is? In terms of logic. Why one is ok to est and not another.

I don't generally eat meat primarily for the points you're trying to emphasize. That's what I'm trying to say, but it's been a hard battle to give it up completely. Especially considering the fact that almost all our food product in the supermarket has meat product in it.
To answer your other questions, does something have to earn my respect for its life to have value? Yes, on a primal level. The primal mode of thinking has to do with relating to another thing. The more you relate to it, the more you respect it. It takes meditation and a high degree of self-awareness to respect all levels of life. As you may already know, there are not a lot of people that evolve into this.
We don't think of all the meat at the grocery store as cute adorable lambs and pigs, and veil. We think of them as hotdogs, hamburgers, and chops.
Monkeys, dolphins, and whales... I think if they were convenient to eat, our culture would, and therefore I would as well, more or less. In Japan, they do eat dolphins and whales. Monkeys are eaten in some Asian and African countries. Seals are eaten in the north and east. Dogs are eaten in the east (as we all well know). These cultures obviously do not relate to these animals the way our cultures in the west have. You don't really see a kid from Vietnam play fetch with his dog Rex. Does that make it morally acceptable? Who's to say? The animals we eat, eat other animals, as well.

Nothing you just wrote answered my question. I understand what you're saying and was already pretty clear on this. Many people don't grow up with monkey's but wouldn't eat one. Many people have pet rabbits and woukd eat one. I also stated I was I interested in the logic behind it as otherwise it always gets passed off as primal instinct. Why do we have the right to kill animals unnecessarily? I would add also add that there is a plethora of food available at your supermarket without meat product. I am vegan and I get by. I'm technically not vegan since I occasionally eat eggs from rescued hens. I don't exempt myself however. I could do a lot more, I know I don't make a difference but that is no reason to abstain. ...in fact it's a retarded thing to say. I pollute and fuel drug trades exploiting children etc etc. Just discussion

I'm the total opposite. Dogs are great and all, but I tend to value their lives less than those of humans. Crazy right?
The question wasn't about killing a puppy though, just eating it. I don't think I would do it unless there really was no other option.

The puppy thing was really just to raise the topic. Many people would rather. However I find this based on instinctual behaviour and not logic. Im here to see if there is logical justification to eat an animal for nothing other than selfish pleasure.

Recently in UK it was discovered that some brands of food and supermarkets were selling horse instead of beef. This caused uproar in many who said that eating horse was wrong. The true issue would have been a supermarket not knowing what it was selling. But this seemed to be more important to people. ..

Recently, the international grocery store chain Aldi, confirmed a horsemeat contamination in some of its processed meat products. Aldi, which has stores throughout the US, received information that some of its products, specifically the frozen beef lasagna and the spaghetti bolognese, contained horsemeat. Aldi proceeded to test the products and the result was 30-100% traces of horsemeat.

Canada It is legal to sell and serve dog meat, providing that it must be killed and gutted in front of federal inspectors. If a dog is killed out of the view of federal inspectors, the killing might involve cruelty, which would be a violation of the Criminal Code, and those convicted may be sentenced to up to 5 years in prison.
just if any of you Canadians were curious

If I were in a foreign country and it was served to me by a host or whatever, I would try it. I wouldn't actively seek it out though, and I'm sure the thought of it would gross me out even if it did taste good.

Yeah I'd have to be pretty desperate to eat dog of any age. Cannibalism I would do anything to avoid in similar dire straits though, I'd rather wander off to my likely death than live with the memory of eating a human.

See..we're different. I don't have many qualms about cannibalism itself. I have a big issue with murder though. Now why is it that you eat meat and I don't?

What if it was someone trying to steal all of your supplies away, and without them you would have to resort to cannibalism? Would you rather kill that person or eat a dead person? Also, if you killed him would you have less of an issue eating him vs some random corpse.

No, I would not, although I'm sure I am a hypocrite in many ways. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you are employing a nonstandard definition of the term "murder."

No sure. But arguing that term would imply a possible rejection of the value I had given it. Since I assumed this wasn't purely for grammatical purposes, I asked you this to see why you thought different species have different value. I wouldn't feel that bad if I stepped on an ant...I would feel bad if I stepped on a mouse  But does that one animal have any logical value over the other?

Many would agree that cutting down a thousand year old tree to make dining room tables or something is morally wrong, but that position does not necessarily make someone a hypocrite for also eating nuts that could have grown into a big majestic tree.
As a human I value human life over the lives of other animals. A tiger would have no moral qualms about killing and eating me, and arguably places a higher value on its own kind than it does on mine (although it's obviously not formulating its thoughts the same way I do.) From my perspective a human's life is worth saving over a tiger's, and from its perspective the reverse is true.

The first part I agree on. Although as far as I know plants don't have central nervous systems nor are they aware. Though some sea creatures do not have one either nor are they apparently self aware...so can I eat them . I value some animals higher than others But the question at hand is if it's not based on cuteness or intelligence what is the logic behind it or is there none. The second part was just the instinct argument...which we can agree are not always I the best interest of others

On another note. I had the chance to look after a dog the other day that was found by police. The owner had died and the dog had been eating him over a week. This was the evening the dog was found. So if I did take it and walked him he would of shit a digested human of which I would have to pick up and bin...is that weird

It doesn't seem weird to me, unless you put a lot of thought into it.
(just to keep on topic) You know what I think would have been weird? If you were to eat the dog because then in a way you would of ate a human

Those are some fucked up details that will probably be omitted from people when they try putting him up for adobtion. No way would I ever want to adopt a dog that ate his owner.

My point with the second paragraph was that valuing human life over other animal life does not necessarily imply a belief that humans are superior in absolute terms. As you say there is an instinctual element to it, but our instinct for co-operation with our own kind has helped our survival. Certainly it's something that's open to be questioned though. Personally, the list of animals I wouldn't eat is definitely somewhat illogical and taboo-based. I don't really like the idea of eating horse meat myself, but there is no logical reason to say that beef is OK to eat and horse isn't. Carnivorous mammals and non-human primates I wouldn't eat because I see their intelligence as being too similar to our own. They're also in shorter supply in general, so killing them without a good reason is also wasteful (like chopping down the very old tree.) There are other reasons as well, such as bioaccumulation of toxins in predators (which also applies to predatory fish) or transfer of disease from animals we are too closely related to.

I would totally eat a puppy. Even if it was only to piss off my friends who have dogs.
I hate dogs
