In regards to eating meat

[BrownEye]

I see it unfruitful to claim compassion for animals at the same time What I see as the teaching of a movement away from animal killing is not a teaching of compassion but a teaching of justifications. This is because I am witnessing not the active practice of compassion but rather the active practice of justifying through perceived reasoning.

Is it perceived reasoning, or justification, that keeps you from eating your dog? After all, it is only meat. I do not really see much difference other than you name it and keep it in your house. It is still kept under boundaries and control, fed with ground up "other animals", possibly even past "pets".
