It is a double standard. But no one is going to win that argument.
People want their steak, but don’t necessarily want to meet the cow beforehand. They will always think of dogs - and any companion animals - entirely differently.
Guess I’m too pragmatic. I worked and lived on ranches. Some family still own and killing bad animals is necessary. I get the little puppy thing. Bad story or maybe I’m callous.
For this age I probably am callous.
