    There’s a sustainable level of eating dogs, cats and drink human blood too. Should we open dog farms to create more jobs?

      There is no inherent difference whatsoever from eating cats and dogs to eating cows or horses or sheep. Meat is meat.

        Eating predators is supposedly less healthy than plant eating animals for a few reasons. As I understand it, carnivores have a notably higher level of parasites, they share diseases with other carnivores more readily than herbivores, and they’re more lean and the meat is more tough/stringy.

        There’s also a realistic level of sustainable effort to farm raise a carnivore vs a herbivore. https://www.britannica.com/science/trophic-level

      Why not? I dont think that dog farms would be that profitable considering the price of dog food, but I dont see a reason why it should be illegal.

      Dog farms are no more unethical than pig farms.
