Side note: as a vegan, the dog meal is pretty good!

        Thank you for pointing out my mistake! I am actually a vegetarian, I don’t know why my phone corrected that! I could not live without cheese

      Funny to be more concerned about the chickens than the animal enslaved for life and bred to feign affection.

      But then it’s typical for rationality to go out the window for some people when dogs are concerned.

        Something something mutually beneficial relationships? Something like any other relationship? Or can you not hear me from your moral pedestal?

          Don’t mind me, it’s just a personal bugaboo of mine. Some dog-human relationships are perfectly reasonable. Zero tolerance veganism as a moral stance is just as mysterious to me as my opinion of dog culture probably is to you. I’ve known chickens who are taken better care of than most of the dogs in my neighborhood, and it seems strange to object to eating their eggs, unless you have a specific dietary reason for it.

        I’m not a vegan, but equating the two seems a bit hyperbolic.

          My point, if I have one, is that it’s trendy for a vegan to object to eating sterile eggs even from well-treated chickens, but hardly anybody wants to talk about the way too many dogs are treated, just as a manner of course.

          Yes, many people treat their dogs well, or think they do, but they’re still routinely confined, leashed, fed cheap crap food, left alone in the yard with no stimulation for most of the day. They’re bred to serve and treated like furniture or at best interactive toys or escorts to make their owners feel good.

          Nobody wants to talk about how miserable most of these animals probably are for large parts of their existence, because they wag their tails and jump excitedly in the rare moments when their people actually give them attention. Hardly anyone wants to give a thought to what an existence as a dog muct actually be like. And that’s for the well-treated ones. There are just as many or more who are penned in tiny yards or otherwise mistreated, but don’t you dare criticise dog owners or the industry for turning a blind eye so long as the dog food money keeps flowing.
