it says he killed it because he was bored of pet ownership. he could have taken it to a dog pound or something.
...

That's along the same logic-line as "I'm sick of being a parent, lemme eat my kids."

Seriously. What the hell.

Dogs are emotional, caring, domesticated animals, much like pigs... that's why I don't eat pork. Additionally, he and the pitbull were emotionally attached (obviously, more the pitbull than him). Both facts make it inhumane. And according to Manswers, cat is more nutritious and tastes better.

Just a few moral issues. If the dog hated him, then yeah that's fine. But if the dog had good...erm...let's use the term 'feelings'...then it seems a bit wrong.

On the other hand, we're humans, hunters (why we have binocular vision), we're meant to eat animals that are 'inferior', so to speak.

The commentary is even weirder than the action. He gets commended? New Zealand is fucking weird.

That said: I don't feel as much moral outrage as I do a sort of fascinating puzzlement. It's a weird feeling that I will never fully understand some other cultures. Hah! The more I read, the less I know. Fucking paradox.

He was just bored? I could see it if couldn't afford food for himself and the dog and so needed to eat it...but he got fucking bored? That's not right.

Also as a dog lover I find the killing of domesticated animals completely screwed up.

Well usually one can apply the "Well it's cute, so we can't eat it!" argument, but that doesn't really apply to pit bulls. While I agree that they are a dangerous breed and hold some allure to low-income white people, eating them hardly seems the logical option.
I mean really.. Just give the mutt to a friend or something.

I've known plenty of dogs who were much more interesting than the majority of people I've met.

He didn't do anything wrong, but he's still a dick.
Just 'cause.

Well it falls under cruelty to animals, its not like he was in an emergency situation where he needed food. He will probably get a slap on the wrist, its kind of weird mind you. I guess it wouldnt be so strange if we farmed pitt bulls for food like chickens or cows, but since we dont.
Really? It's wrong to eat animals? I didn't know we had PETA members here on the escapist, I might very well need to stop coming here if that's the case.


Joke aside, it's only wrong because you think it's wrong, and no it most certainly does NOT fall under cruelty to animals. If he killed it quickly and with as little pain as possible, he did absolutely nothing wrong.

I for one applaud this man for his humane actions. Most people would have abandoned the animal, condemning it to the suffering and abuse that comes along with trying to survive in our society without an owner. He did the right thing by choosing to end the suffering before it could start by instead choosing to kill the animal off quickly.
Humane actions? The dude got bored of his pet, roasted it, and then fucking ate it. That doesn't seem humane to me, even if it was a pitbull.

Have you SEEN the average pitbull lately? That thing probably had more meat on it than the local cows. Besides, no chance that thing could attack someone anymore.

Meh, we eat cow and that's not animal crulity!?! This (eating a dog) is just a matter of culture rather than "right" and "wrong". In some countries it's fine and in some it's not, simple as.

Fundamentally speaking there's nothing wrong with eating dog. It's just that in most countries where dogs are eaten regularly, the dogs are treated like shit in tiny little cages, and electrocuted to death. Not pretty.
That's the exact same way they treat chickens in the US.

OT: There's nothing wrong with eating dog. It's no less of an animal than any of the other types of meat that we eat.

Har har har, so funny.

No, it's not wrong to eat animals - I'm a carnivore, as a matter of fact.
I just said he's a dick for killing his pet - there's plenty of ways to get food without doing so.
It's a Pit bull; they deserve it. Pit bulls were animals bred to fight, and are animals that deserve to be killed. Pit bulls are far from nice dogs.
OT: If he did it quick and painless, I see nothing wrong. If it was dragged out, and very painful for the dog, well then, that's wrong.
So were over half the dog breeds out there, and people don't have half as much hatred for them.
Pitbulls get the shit end of the stick because people want to hate them for the reasons you listed, and the fact that people still use them as such. Breed them for a few centuries and give them a different outlet for their hunting instinct, they wouldn't be as violent a bred as your typical german shepard (which as still counted as a violent breed).

Pitbulls do not deserve to die, by your logic so do dobermans, german shepards, any member of the spitz family, and all hunting dogs (labs, retrievers, spaniels, coon hounds, bloodhounds, etc). All of which were bred to hunt, fight, and kill for almost every single occasion.

An animal is an animal. Do I like what he did? No. I don't think we should kill anything and eat it. Do I care more about this than about the thousands of cows that are killed every day for food? No. It's completely irrelevant in the big picture.

Having enjoyed the company of a certain animal (in nearly all cases pets like cats and dogs literally become members of the family)i don`t think i could bring myself to eat one ,maybe if it was an emergency and there was nothing else ,but then again in those kind of situations i`d consider going cannibal if there were humans about

I live in NZ, and not really sure how I feel about this. I've always been against cruelty to animals, but I also hate pitbulls (Once got bitten by one, kick in the face stopped it, and some form of animal headlock). There is also no law against this. Otherwise there would be no steak, pork or any other meat. Everyone grows animals to eat them. The only difference was that this guy used a dog, but there is no law against killing an animal (Assuming you own it) and eating it here.

...as proven by farms.
