I don't see any difference between eating a dog and eating a pig. Don't get me wrong - the treatment of dogs at the Yulin Dog Festival is grotesque and shameful and worthy or criticism. The way we treat swine is just kept behind closed doors though. I'm not convinced we're much better.

I've had to go vegan and I don't have words for how much I hate it. I can't justify the treatment of the animals whose products and meat I eat though not can I justify the environmental impact of large-scale livestock farming. I'm all over meat and animal products if I know exactly how they were sourced and consider it ethical and environmentally sound. That happens virtually never though.
