I just want to know if I'm in the wrong
So I just had a whole debate with my boyfriend about why it's hypocritical to judge people that eat dogs or cats when when most of the world eats cows and pigs and that from a moral and ethical standpoint there's no difference between any of the animals and people only get disgusted because they value one animal over the other when some people have the same relationships with their pigs and cows as others do with their dogs and cats I'm not saying eating dogs and cats or pigs and cows is right but I feel like it's wrong to be hypocritical about it. My standpoint in this conversation was that I don't think it's wrong necessarily to eat dogs or cats if that's the resource available to the people that eat them and as long as it's done ethically I have no problem because we do the same shit but different animals and I don't believe any animal has more value than another one.
