Doesn't seem too arbitrary at all.
Eh, horse meat isn't that bad
Neither is rabbit.
Rabbit is actually really testy when prepared well.
Rabbit is more food than horse because you can't ride a rabbit.
Dogmeat tried to kill The Master and failed
Rabbit should be right of horse. Goat and sheep the most right; there is no culture nor religion that bans their consumption. They are that important to human survival.
Yeah, horses are definitely pets and not food in most of the modern world. Rabbits are hard to place. They just don't come up very often anymore as either food or pets.
If needed I would eat every single one of them and not feel at all bad about it... Also why is the rabbit there? Rabbit stew is good.
It literally took your first two words to make your entire perspective on the matter worthless.
And some cultures eat dog, and others worship cows.
Why is your culture correct?
Because living in northern Europe means long and dark winters with little ability to grow or gather food, so farming cattle for milk and meat over the winter months was pretty much the only way to build a stable, sizable, community before the industrial revolution. People didn't just come up with shit for the hell of it the way too many people these days appear to believe.
Sure, so what's the excuse for 2023?
Because I live in it.
Who said anything about being correct? That's just where his culture draws that line.
...so it's arbitrary
No, there's usually cultural and/or historic reasons for why the line is drawn where it is
And that makes it not arbitrary...how?
And we don't live in those times anymore. Why should we do what a culture tells us to do? Just because it's culture and/or tradition? That's a pretty dark path to traverse.
You know, you are right. I may start eating dog just right now. Thank you
Honestly, I really don't consider eating dog to be any worse than eating pig. The only reason we usually do is because we are culturally attached to dogs.
I know you are trying to get a reaction out of me. But I don't consider that to be more immoral than eating other animals. After all, pigs and cows are roughly as intelligent as dogs, with similar capacities for suffering. At least you would be consistent.
I don't want to get a reaction
Well I'm glad you've given up on making bad faith arguments and realized you don't have any good ones. At least everyone who reads this can see how foolish you look.
First, i was just kidding, but on a serious note, Im sorry if this offends you in anyway, but i eat animals and i dont feel any remorse about it. I dont have any excuses cause i dont believe its a bad thing.
Eating animals is wrong for a number of reasons, mostly environmental.
But I'm sure as hell not going to be left out if everyone else is doing it. Meat is delicious and culturally enforced. I have enough personal protests that I don't need to add this big one on top.
I do think we can and should do more to limit meat consumption, but it's politically impossible. The amount of meat we eat isn't normal or healthy. Once a week is much more reasonable.
But I bet 9 out of 10 of your nearest restaurants serve meat in most of their dishes.
Do you think we should stop speaking out language? Because that is both cultural and tradition. Just because something is based on tradition does not mean it's a bad thing.
That also doesn't mean that it isn't arbitrary, though.
There's another one like this where there's a line to the right of the duck and the text indicates it's " when I want to nail that hot vegan"
Priorities!
I would also like to address how horrifyingly close the golden retriever is to the line... Someone really likes cats is my take away.
yeah...golden retrievers are eaten in some parts of China
Hi, China here.
Nah, I've eaten lots of rabbit, and I've eaten horse, though I wouldn't do it again, it really wasn't good.
Haha. The answer to the billboard's question is "Yes. Right there. That's right. Glad we resolved that."
Two to the left. I grew up very much enjoying cacciatore. Hunting rabbit and hare is a good time, too.
