I eat VERY little meat. And my rule is that it must be humanely raised and quickly killed without stress/suffering.
My only beef (pun intended) with dog meat is that it's often like veal in its treatment.
When I was living in Seoul, there was a whole debate about “should we stop eating dog meat because the foreigners dislike the tradition?”
There was no humane ending to the meat-trade dogs’ lives. That was the bigger problem. Those animals suffered greatly.
I totally agree with the first part of your statement (and don't know enough to agree with the second).
My biggest regret when it comes to processing our animals is having to ship them somewhere. I wish it could be done on site to reduce stress.
