Do you find eating dogs the way they do in China to be gross? If yes, then why not with other animals. I think we grow so accustomed to eating butchered animals that it seems the normal thing to do.

:whistle:I was once invited to a chinese marriage aniversary party and they served dog’s ribs. They were breaded and deep fried, quite good I must say.
🤷

So you’re saying the two can never be separated?

That’s correct. For example, there are cultures in which there are more than two classifications of gender (some have three, others five) with different social roles. This may seem strange and immoral to us, but it is part of that culture’s norms.
 
Just as an aside, I love that so far there are no middle grounders. You’re either one side or the other. 😛

Paraphrasing from a distant memory:
“What about sausage?”
“Pigs.”
“What about pork?”
“Pigs.”
“What about bacon?”
“They all come from pigs.”
“Oh, riiiight, Lisa. They all come from the same *magical *animal!”

I don’t think I buy that…culture is an influence, certainly, but for those of us who believe in an objective Truth, social culture must ultimately give way. That’s another conversation, however.

The ‘pendulum’ is definitely swinging in favor of cultural diversity and moral relativism.

I think the “problem” reveals itself when there is a cultural clash with the mainstream culture due to multicultural diversity within the same country, such as in the US or in certain European countries. In societies in which virtually everyone follows the same cultural norms, there is little problem.

There is a big moral difference to killing and eating a highly intelligent and/or sentient being to eat then something without sentience. Plus I don’t believe animals have spirits. I personally am pretty close to a vegetarian. My husband and I only eat meat once every few weeks or so. My slow cutting out of meat in my diet has very little to do with morality.

p.s. I have no problems with eating weird animals. Weird parts gross me out, but I don’t think it is wrong. Just because something is “gross” or not part of our cultural norm, doesn’t mean it is wrong. Plus it is a little ethnocentric to think that our culture is the standard of morality. Church teaching is, not Western culture.

Also remember that in the days of the Jews God commanded the killing of animals and He even made rules for butchering animals. So by our theology in the Judeo-Christian tradition, there is nothing wrong with killing or eating animals.

Yes, we’re veering off-topic for sure. I brought up culture because I think whether or not one believes it is disgusting to eat mutilated animals has a broader context.

God did a great job on the pig - didn’t He?

And let’s not forget one of my favorite mutilated animal foods - Mmmm Cheeseburgers!
 
No, I don’t find it to be disgusting. I find it to be quite tasty actually. 😛

So, are you saying you eat meat, but it makes you feel gross for doing so?

It’s too much work being a vegetarian. I got lazy and started eating meats again. But I still think it’s one of the disgusting things about being human. I hope we don’t have to eat with our glorified bodies! (Jesus actually ate in His glorified body and that worries me).

I’m talking about chicken, beef, and pork. I first had an extreme experience while preparing chicken for the first time. I found it to be very gross washing the pieces of mutilated chicken. It was a very strong experience that made me feel gross being human and I became a vegetarian. Today I eat all kinds of meats, but I still remember my first experience and I still feel gross being human and having to eat mutilated animals.

This doesn’t make sense to me. If you find eating “mutilated” animals so disgusting, why did you back to eating them? And in your last line you make it sound like you have to eat meat. You don’t. Really, I don’t see a point of this thread other than trying to stir things up.

When I was a kid, we raised chickens, hogs and cattle. I’m quite sure my grandpa, dad, uncles (and aunts too) would find your question quite amusing and would probably ask you if you find it disgusting to eat those animals, what else are people supposed to do with them? There would be no reason to breed and raise them if they weren’t being kept/raised as food sources.

Yes and Jesus ate Fish in his Glorified Body.

So since we will be like Him, and eat in our glorified and resurrected bodies, does that mean there will be celestial toilets?😃
