My Neighbors Just Ate their Dog (Seriously). What is the libertarian stance on this?

Why are we bumping this thread? Is there a new recipe?

It's Friday night. In a search for something else it crossed my path.

As with anything. Low and slow. Hickory and Cherry.

Was the dog named "Smokey"?

My neighbors dog has been in the freezer for 4 years now. She doesn't want to bury it...


in case she forecloses on her home.

I always thought that would be a good name for a lynx.

as an 'in progress' libertarian, my opinion is, if you want to eat dogs, and live next door to me, i reserve the right to raise Rottweilers in my kennels. And i love dogs, and i own guns.

go for it.

 

[osan]

Well, one thing you could have done was go over there with a rifle and kill all of them.

Well, I can sort of relate. When Jack died in 2004 I put him in the freezer and there he stayed for 3 weeks. I was kind of upset about his death and just could not get myself to bury him in a place where I knew I would be soon leaving. My daughter finally prevailed upon me to get him in the ground, so I drove up to Pacific City (OR) to my friends place, a very wild and beautiful 20 acres of rain forest and interred my best friend under a stately tree of majestic proportions. There he remains to this day.

...if the dog was killed quickly, then it's all good.

That's my only concern.

 

[osan]

It is absolutely disgusting, but the dog is his property.

Just another reason why I am not against local ordinances that prohibit such things.

Why is it disgusting? What is it about the act that makes it so?

No, you could not have. That would have been unjust aggression. You would be a criminal if you did that, specifically a murderer. Osan may be OK with murder. I am not.

Eating cat for Christmas: Activists call on Swiss parliament to outlaw pet consumption...

Reuters / Arnd Wiegmann

The animal protection group, SOS Chats Noraingue, has handed over a petition with 16,000 signatures, including such notable animal rights defenders as Brigitte Bardot, to the Swiss parliament on Tuesday.

Dog meat is often used to make sausage, while cats are prepared around the holiday season in a similar style to rabbit - in a white wine and garlic sauce. A type of mostbröckli made from marinated cat or dog is another local favorite.

While the commercial sale of dog meat is banned nationwide, its consumption is still legal and is particularly popular in Lucerne, Appenzell, Jura and in the canton of Bern, according to Tomek. Farmers are free to kill and eat their own animals. Those in the Appenzell and St. Gallen areas are said to favor a beefy breed of dog related to Rottweilers.

In a 2012 report on pet eating in the Swiss paper Tages Anzeiger, the Swiss Veterinary Office chalked up the practice to a “cultural matter” and noted that some countries breed dogs specifically for slaughter.

One farmer, defending the practice, told the paper, “There’s nothing odd about it. Meat is meat. Construction workers in particular like eating it.”

bump for another thread

 

[Anti Federalist]

Leaving aside the issue of inhumane slaughter, which certainly seems to be the case here, how difficult can it be?

You own the animal, how is slaughtering it for food any different than slaughtering a lamb or goat or a chicken or a steer?

We are not the ones who are nuts.

A whole generation of soft, disconnected Americans who have no idea where their food comes from, no idea where their energy comes from, no idea where their consumer goods come from, they are the crazy ones, as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, what I said.

 

[Anti Federalist]

This is self evident fact.

The lion has no concept of or respect for the "rights" of the gazelle.

Nor does the bluefish for the squid.

And so on...

And also: what I said.

 

[gaazn]

Why do dogs seem to have more rights than every other animal?

 

[kcchiefs6465]

Yeah, what I said.

So long as you don't cage the animal for spectacle, allowing the soft to supposedly breeze the Serengeti, I might refrain from offering the obvious opinion that you are barberous and cruel in your quest for satisfaction in watching animals shit and be rather dull for a price.

Eat the endangered polar bears for what I give a fuck. It is still weird to cage them for tourists and in my opinion, the truly weak.

Polar bear meat is very distasteful and the internal organs are poisonous.
