Not that idiotic really. Why is it any more or less acceptable to eat a cow over a dog? Just be logically consistent and don't eat any of it. Bacon (processed meats) and steak (all red meats) seriously heighten your risk of cancers.

Lmfao, "seriously heighten your risk of cancers", so is cancer a type of Coronavirus, or is coronavius a type of cancer? I really love it when people like you warp the situation to fit and justify your own ideologies and perceptions. Bore off.

For over a millenia man has eaten meat and in doing so hasn’t brought him to his knees, Brian ffs, however meat bred for eating is completely different from eating Fido and at least we aim to quick kill, not peel alive, boil alive Jesus christ it’s so simple, if you do eat meat then fuck off away from this conversation

Obviously haven't been to many slaughterhouses then have you? Meat consumption has always been extremely limited within most European diets, for a multitude of reasons related to availability, health and morality. Only in say the past 50-100 years has it really picked up and become a staple on the family dinner table. Industrialised meat farming (breeding, pumping full of hormones and other such nasties and then slaughtering for profit) on a large scale, is very new and is neither inherently traditional nor natural within the tapestry of European history. I doubt that many if any of you are out hunting your own prey? People feel that to be British, they MUST eat meat in abundance. It's our culture blah blah blah. Just baseless and nonsensical really. I am a nationalist and a logically consistent one adhering to a plant based diet.

Animals have been slaughtered for food since the beginning of time Get over yourself ffs

Not saying they haven't. Not in the industrialised fashion they are today though. Still haven't had an answer as to why it's okay to eat cows but not dogs???

Because in the west Dogs are looked upon as a member of the family and you wouldn’t eat a member of your family would you or maybe you would who knows.
