Sanitation or Murder?

[Guest guest]

Dear Sirs,

 

We have just heard that " Dog Meat Sanitation Management Policy

Report " is finished and from now on consumption of dogs and cats as food

will be totally legal. Whereas in several countries in your area are

carried out efforts to stop pets' consumption regarding it as a brutal

amd inhumane practice, your country proceeds to this unacceptable act.

Cats and dogs are widely regarded as companion animals, " human' best

friends " in other words. When there are so many other animals used for

food, it is totally unnecessary to treat human's best friends as such.

Moreover it is worldwide known that the methods used to kill those

animals are totally barbaric. And the excuse for all these is always

tradition. Well, as a human being and not only as a European citizen, I

can't understand what kind of tradition approves torturing and murdering

helpless, innocent animals in the most painful way just because some

people don't want to change their " habits " (if murdering a helpless

animal can be consideres as just a " habit " ). The issue for me is not if

the slaughter conditions are sanitary and proper but the slaughter itself.

It is really a shame that in a modern world where more and more

people start to conceive the value and neccessity of respect towards

animals and other forms of life since they are our roomates on this

planet and not our toys or slaves, your country refuses to participate

in any effort to make this world more humane and tolerant for all of us,

humans and animals.

 

Sincerely yours,
