MEXICO CITY – Animal rights activists staged a protest against the sale of pets in Mexico City, urging residents to adopt dogs and other animals instead of buying them. Eight of every 10 dogs sold in Mexico end up in the streets, with most of them having been family pets at some point, official figures show. Late on this story.

However, the solution they have created, which harkens back to before industrialized agriculture, is simply to still raise animals for their flesh and secretions, and for profit, but to do it the old-fashioned way. I wouldn't do it to a dog, and I shouldn't do it to a chicken/sheep/cow/pig. It's just not right. No argument here.

Who Should Not Eat Meat, or What Does a Vegetarian Feed His Dog? Since animals cannot be judged morally praiseworthy or blameworthy, the question of whether it is morally wrong for them to eat meat cannot be raised. Moral concepts such as “right” and “wrong” apply only to autonomous beings. KBJ: Martin cannot be serious.

While plenty of people pay attention to the question of what it means to raise an animal humanely, far fewer stop to consider the notion—and the ostensible paradox—of humane slaughter." It's absurd that this has to be said, but respecting the needs of cows is the same thing as respecting the needs of dogs. It involves not killing them.

Cows, domestic sheep, chickens and many others would not survive if they were not raised for human consumption, protected from malnutrition, disease and predators.
