    I mean, if we’re talking about ‘efficient ways to get calories’, then farming any animal is a stupid way to do that.

    You lose so much energy feeding them than if you just ate the food yourself or used the land to grow food.

    Always funny watching where meat-eaters draw the line with their abuse. There is more cognitive dissonance among ya’ll than conservatives.

      The question posed was whether farming dogs is worse than farming other animals, and that is the question I attempted to answer.

      The question was not whether farming any animal for food is ethical or justifiable, and so I didn’t attempt to answer that.

      Just a small pointer: If the goal was to convince the person you replied to, the third condescending paragraph is a surefire way to make them not listen, which is a shame because the first two paragraphs are actually solid arguments.

        No, my goal was to say what I wanted to say and I accomplished that to a tee.

        Just a small pointer: nobody cares about your pointers. Lol.

            I wouldn’t spend any more energy on them. They made it clear that they’re here to talk at people rather than talking with people.
