> > Another example of cultural bias.  Why is it humane to raise a
chicken, pig, or cow for slaughter, but not a dog?

You tell me. Is it humane to break a dog's legs ...all four. Hung by a
hook at meat market... sometimes for days on end. No water, no food
offer, no compassion. Just pain and fear.

The poor dog hangs there....until someone decides to buy him or until
it dies from it's injuries!

What part about that is humane?

Some folks are okay with that. I am not. If your going to tell the
truth, your going to alienate people.
