Logically, he admits it does make perfect sense to eat dogs if you eat pigs and cows. Because his previous paragraph is: But do pigs have any more or less of a soul than dogs? His aside demonstrates how self-conscious he is about attributes shared by pigs and dogs, which he knows is also shared by humans.

It's just another excuse people have concocted because they like the taste of cow/pig/chicken/fish flesh. All they do thereafter is replace cows with chickens and pigs and fish. It seems like the answer to most questions/responses to most issues is one of these: Speciesism. What do you think?

We don't say we hate cows. We don't say we hate pigs and want to see them writhing in pain and slaughtered. Pigs definitely don't get much respect from humans, but the evil (and I can't think of a better word and I don't mean it in a religious sense) I see around cat-haters is different. In fact we say we love them.

There will be no greyhound corpse on our table, no turkey corpse and no pig corpse. The conclusion I'm left making is that the person saying "Because it tastes good" thinks that it's funny that a sentient being was raped (in the case of cows), mutilated (chickens, pigs and others) and slaughtered (everyone) because people find them tasty.

In other words, horses, like pigs and cows and chickens, are commodities whose worth has a dollar value to people, and we should be doing what we can do maximize that dollar value.

The problem with that statement is it's not as if farmers are searching "the wild" for cows, pigs, chicken and fish, plucking them from their homes, and plopping them on a farm to live out their (shortened) lives prior to slaughter. The choice isn't the wild or the farm.

From the perspective of the land ethic a herd of cattle, sheep, or pigs is as much or more a ruinous blight on the landscape as a fleet of four-wheel drive off-road vehicles.

A decision not to eat dogs has nothing to do with our inherent hypocrisy, but with our relationship to different animals.
