Daily Mail: Dogs Slaughtered for Cambodian Wedding
One time I went to a Khmer wedding and ate dog. I didn't like the taste so I discreetly fed it to the cats under my table.

Inevitable that that comment would come along sooner or later. Few people keep cows or pigs as pets.... And like kinard I do not eat carnivores.
If you don't eat any animals that eat other animals, do you eat pigs, chicken, and fish/crustaceans?

I don't mean to be pedantic, but I just find it a bold statement to make: "I don't eat carnivores". That means you've given it serious thought, and decided to eat meat, eat animals that eat meat, but not any animal that just eats meat.Hanno wrote:I did not say that I don't eat animals that eat other animals, I said I do not eat carnivores.Miguelito wrote:Well, dogs can be classified as omnivores.Hanno wrote:CircleK wrote:I am an omnivore.

However, dogs are omnivores, so they don't fit your description of what you don't eat, but cod, salmon, squid, crustaceans, and frogs are carnivores. I have a feeling that you'd be happy to have a cod chippy, some calamari or a nice lobster dinner. Perhaps even frog, although you're German and not French...

OK, OK, you win. I grew up with plenty of dogs and cats and the idea of eating either would never cross my mind.
On un unrelated note: seems like Khmer always tell me that only the treacherous Youn eat dog (though I know for a fact that that is not true). So was that a Youn wedding?

In theory I have no problem with eating dog. I do have a problem with eating stolen dog and with eating animals that have been kept in a cruel manner and/or killed with unnecessary /unpleasant means. Am I aware of the lives of chickens here and of pigs? Yes. Am I vegetarian here? No, but I have been vegetarian in the past (for 12 years). I am not a black and white creature. I am fickle. I can dislike a behaviour but choose to ignore it for my benefit on some occasions and not on others. I can choose to not eat dog and to comment on why not, but then eat it should circumstances present themselves to have me change my stance. I'd rather be that than black and white. I don't think I'm alone in this.
I like having emotions.
The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.

No. I'm eating some lamb, some beef, increasing amounts of goat and the odd deer. No fish, though do eat chicken eggs. Busted!Miguelito wrote:So you don't eat pork, chicken, or fish/crustaceans?kinard wrote: I'm an omnivore too, but I don't eat carnivorous animals.
