Is it appropriate for national legislation to prohibit eating dog meat?

As long as the meat of this animal is not harmful to human health and has no negative impact on human survival, even if only 1 person in the world likes to eat and is willing to eat, and 7 billion people don't like to eat, we have no right to deprive this 1 person of the right to eat dog meat. In a certain country, a religious group that sticks to scripture will ask the state to legislate against eating pork according to its own preferences. Another ethnic group that regards cows as sacred may clamor for legislation to ban beef. Everyone followed suit, legislating not to eat dog meat for a while, banning pork for a while and banning beef for a while. Finally, humans suddenly shut themselves off? Cage? , can't move. At this time, how to guarantee people's most basic right to subsistence? It is best for everyone to drink northwest wind together.

If we really legislate to prohibit eating dog meat nationwide, this behavior will definitely be wrong and will not be recognized by the vast majority of people. Even abroad, the vast majority of people will not agree to make such legislation. Some people say that eating dog meat is prohibited in more than 100 countries in the world. In fact, this is a rumor fabricated online. I asked several doctoral supervisors of China University of Political Science and Law, and also asked my friends in the United States and Britain. In fact, no country in the world really forbids eating dog meat. Even in the United States, only four states have legislated against eating dog meat. There are 50 states in the United States, and only 4 states prohibit eating dog meat, which shows that most Americans are indifferent to eating dog meat. Americans like dogs so much that they don't even prohibit eating dog meat. Why should we in China learn from the practices of a few western people? Why can't we think for ourselves? Why can't you have no right to speak in your own culture? All this is thought-provoking

Since a certain department plans to legislate to ban eating dog meat all over the country, many friends have come forward to criticize it. A friend said: I have a dog at home, and I like dogs, but I firmly oppose the right to prohibit others from eating dog meat. Even some friends are angry. They say they never eat dog meat because of this department? Nonsense? You must make a special trip to eat dog meat. ?

I read some friends' speeches on the Internet. They are in favor of legislating against eating dog meat. Most of them are for two reasons:

First, dog meat is not a necessity.

For example, people used to eat dog meat because of food shortage, but in modern society, animal husbandry and aquaculture are developed, so it is no longer necessary to eat dog meat.

Second, saying no to eat dog meat is a symbol of social civilization and progress.

For example, many westerners don't eat dog meat. They say eating dog meat is uncivilized and often criticize civilization.

In fact, on the topic of eating dog meat, the key point is not whether to eat it or not, whether it is delicious or not, and how many people oppose it, just two words: human rights.

If people want to survive in this universe, they must first guarantee the right to live, which is the greatest human right. Getting food is the right to life. Although dog meat is no longer an inevitable choice of food, we have no right to deprive people of the right to list dog meat as an alternative food. There are at least hundreds of millions of dogs in the world, and they are not rare protected animals. Moreover, the dog meat we eat is basically from farms, which does not infringe on citizens' private property and has no legal problems.

Some people want to frame the rights of all mankind.

In my opinion, as long as the meat of this animal is not harmful to human health and has no negative impact on human survival, even if only 1 person in the world likes to eat and is willing to eat, and there are 7 billion people who don't like to eat, we have no right to deprive this 1 person of the right to eat dog meat.

Even if dogs are the companions of some people (not all human beings), no matter how cute they are (of course, cuteness is only a part of pet dogs), they love dogs again and feel uncomfortable about others eating dog meat, human rights are the first.

If we make an exception today and really legislate against eating dog meat, there will be more imitations tomorrow, and cases of trampling on people's rights will occur frequently. If everyone tries to change the law based on personal preference to satisfy their own selfish desires, then the world will eventually die.

For example, in a certain country, a religious group that is obsessed with scripture will, according to its own preferences, ask the state to legislate against eating pork. Another ethnic group that regards cows as sacred may clamor for legislation to ban beef. Everyone followed suit, legislating not to eat dog meat for a while, banning pork for a while and banning beef for a while. Finally, humans suddenly shut themselves off? Cage? , can't move. At this time, how to guarantee people's most basic right to subsistence? It is best for everyone to drink northwest wind together.

Some people say that not eating dog meat is a symbol of social civilization and progress. I think this is a lie for a century. Will a lie become truth after being repeated by millions of people for many years? The real progress of social civilization is the improvement of productivity and scientific and technological level. On the question of whether dog meat can be eaten, as long as it does not endanger human health, there is no problem in eating it. It is an uncivilized way of eating only animals that may bring potential or direct harm to human health and carry a lot of germs.

Drug abuse is harmful to human health and should be strictly prohibited, but what's wrong with eating dog meat that brings health and happiness to people? Is dog meat stolen? No, it comes from a farm. Can dog meat carry deadly germs? No, they are safe. Eating dog meat, will human society lead to war? No, everyone drinks and eats dog meat, which increases harmony and makes everyone happy. In that case, why is it uncivilized to eat dog meat? In my opinion, it is only the self-love of some people that puts personal preferences above the dignity and rights of all mankind.

Doesn't eating dog meat represent the so-called civilization progress?

Some people who are opposed to eating dog meat constantly publicize the deceptive concept that eating dog meat is barbaric and uncivilized, and not eating dog meat is progressive and civilized.

Is the truth really as they advertised?

Of course not!

Absolutely not!

Look it up in the dictionary, civilization is a collection of all social and natural behaviors that free human beings from barbarism. These collections at least include the following elements: family concept, tools, language, writing, faith, religious concept, law, city-state and country, etc. None of this means that eating dog meat is barbaric. Eating dog meat is just a normal eating process, just like eating other kinds of meat. If you eat a food that is not safe enough, it may lead to health hazards or survival crisis, which is called barbaric eating behavior. For example, eating bats, civets or some deadly insects. These eating behaviors will bring unpredictable negative effects on human survival. The real social progress is that human beings have safer food choices and can better protect their health.

Therefore, whether the health of consumers can be guaranteed is the standard to measure whether the eating behavior is civilized, not based on the personal hobbies of a certain group. Assuming that personal hobbies can also become the standard of civilization, what about love? National quintessence? There are hundreds of millions of people playing mahjong. Does playing mahjong represent civilization? Assuming that mahjong culture will spread all over the universe in the future, and all races on earth are keen on playing mahjong and do not tolerate gambling, is playing mahjong the highest level of civilized behavior in the universe?

Let us deepen the impression that whether we can protect consumers' health is the standard to measure the civilized degree of eating behavior, not the personal hobby of a certain group. The key point is whether it can protect the health of consumers! ! !

Some friends also pointed out that a certain department just said this time? Dogs are forbidden on farms? ,? Didn't you blatantly say that eating dog meat is forbidden? . However, I think there is no legal basis even if dogs are prohibited in farms. It is a kind of moral degeneration and a great retrogression of reason, morality and law to prohibit others from giving birth just because of a group of people's private preferences. We should be alert. Someone tried today? Dogs are forbidden on farms? In fact, it is paving the way for a total ban on eating dog meat in the future. If we don't stop them, our descendants will be bound and struggling!

Defending people's rights is not empty talk, and resisting their retrogressive selfish behavior is an important step for human beings to gain self-esteem.

So I think it is extremely inappropriate for the whole country to legislate against eating dog meat, which is a retrogression of human civilization.
