What do you think of eating dog meat?

In fact, eating dog meat is no different from eating pork, beef and mutton. You can be a patriot, you can not eat dog meat, but you have no right to stop others from eating dog meat. There is no shame in eating dog meat. There are two kinds of shameful people: one is moral kidnapping, and others are not allowed to eat dog meat; The other is unscrupulous merchants, who do not buy normal meat dogs from formal channels, but slaughter stolen dogs. Some dogs are pet dogs, and it is understandable that dog lovers keep them as companions; Some dogs are meat dogs, and it is understandable that some people eat dogs. No country in the world forbids eating dog meat, but interesting critics also think that the dog meat market should be strictly managed, and not all dogs can eat it. Interesting comments summed up three points: first, eating dog meat has a long historical tradition and is a normal behavior; Second, strictly manage the dog meat market; Third, people who eat dogs and people who love dogs should stay out of it and never engage in moral kidnapping.

First, eating dog meat has a long history and tradition. As long as it is eaten through regular channels, there is nothing to blame. Yesterday, an interesting critic just listened to Mr. Yuan Tengfei's program, which talked about the history of eating dog meat. Eating dog meat has a long history both in China and in the West.

From China's point of view, Zhou Li stipulated that dog meat was one of the nine kinds of meat sacrificed by the Zhou Emperor. Friends who know history know that Fan Kuai, the general under Liu Bang, was a dog butcher. There is a famous saying that every time you kill a dog, you are a scholar. The dog butcher here refers to the people at the bottom, which shows that killing dogs was very popular in ancient times.

So, why is eating dog meat gradually replaced by eating mutton and pork? The key point is that it is difficult to carry out large-scale unified breeding of dogs. Unlike sheep, they can eat grass on the grassland; Pigs are more convenient to raise and can be kept in captivity on a large scale. So eating dog meat is gradually replaced by eating mutton and pork.

From the western point of view, isn't it strange that people call roasted sausages hot dogs? This is a word from Germany. Germans are very keen on eating dog meat. In the agricultural era, wurst was made of dog meat, so it was called hot dog. It can be seen that eating dog meat is a tradition in both China and the West.

Second, we must strengthen the management of the dog meat market. On April 8, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the National Catalogue of Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources (Draft for Comment), which did not include dogs in the livestock list. Many patriots believe that this means that you can't eat dog meat in the future. Interesting comments don't think so. The National Catalogue of Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources (Draft for Comment) only regulates the dog meat market, and dogs cannot be slaughtered or eaten at will. And those artificially raised meat dogs can still be slaughtered and eaten through formal channels. This is actually a good thing, and the dog meat market should be standardized to resolve the contradiction between dog meat eaters and patriots.

Finally, interesting comments should emphasize that you can't impose your will on others, that is, you can't carry out moral kidnapping. You can love dogs and even treat them as family. But in others' eyes, dogs are still animals, so why not eat them?
