Dogs are faithful friends of human beings. Do you think they should serve?

For human beings, dogs are just food or pets, but they are not friends.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the ancestor of dogs, the gray wolf, was human food. Later, those inedible cubs were raised and gradually domesticated into a new species-dogs. Became a carnivore? One of the "six animals".

Although dogs are the earliest domesticated domestic animals, they are loyal to their owners, but they often cause trouble, among which dog biting has been a common occurrence among the people since ancient times. For a long time, the word "dog" in China traditional culture has always existed as a derogatory term. Therefore, the word "dog" is probably not a good word. Idioms such as ruthlessness, a dog jumping over the wall, a dog fighting against human potential, and common sayings such as running dogs, dog legs and dog things.

Eating dog meat has been common for tens of thousands of years. Dog meat is a common ingredient, but it is not a high-grade food. The so-called "selling dog meat by hanging sheep's head" means that dog meat is cheaper than mutton. In order to make more money, butchers pass off dog meat as mutton. There is a poem that says, "Every dog was killed in righteousness", which shows that killing dogs and selling meat was a special occupation at that time.

But with the development of the times, the former livestock and dogs have a new identity, that is, pets. And those who have dogs and pets like dogs not to eat dog meat, but ask others not to eat dog meat, which is simply puzzling. If you don't approve of eating dog meat, you can protest and express your dissatisfaction, but you can't take practical actions that infringe others' lives.

A common reason why dog lovers object to eating dogs is that most of the dog meat they eat comes from illegal theft. Admittedly, the source of some dog meat put on the table is indeed suspicious, but the problem seems to be not the diners, but the dog meat sellers who should be held accountable. If they know that dog meat comes from an improper source, has not been quarantined, and has potential safety hazards, they will continue to sell it, then it is reasonable for dog lovers to report it to the relevant departments and try to ban illegal and unsafe sales according to law, instead of accusing diners of improper behavior. In fact, the meat dog breeding industry in China has a long history. There are not many real pet dogs flowing into the dining table, and compared with local dogs, pet dogs are not delicious and diners don't like them.

Dog lovers should not force everyone to love dogs like him. After all, dogs are just an animal, and they still retain a lot of wildness. It is very common for bad dogs to hurt people, and also to kill dog owners. For many people, dogs are just wild animals, and eating dog meat may be more acceptable than loving dogs.

Do dog lovers really love dogs? Not necessarily. Pets are just animals kept to eliminate loneliness or entertainment. Once it is not needed, so-called dog lovers often abandon it on purpose, eventually forming a large number of stray dogs, causing great social problems.

Dogs are never anyone's friends. Who ties a chain to a friend? Who keeps a friend in a cage? Who would abandon a friend and let him wander? In fact, dogs are just an extremely ordinary animal. Eating dog meat as a diet has existed for tens of thousands of years and will continue to exist.
