India is the biggest beef exporter in the world.

Cows are intelligent loving animals and make good companions.
Cows also do good work for us humans, farming, etc.
Hypocrites and culture aside, its good if we move away from eating animals.

I don't eat dog meat, none of my relatives nor friends eat dog meat.
99% Chinese never eat dog meat.
99.9% young Chinese never eat dog meat.
99.99% young urban Chinese never eat dog meat.

But I think all animals are equal, black lives matter, so do we. If we believe all human are equal, then all animals are equal.

Key word is "companion".
That is why I have it on a sentence on its own.
We should try not to eat our "companion" or what others consider their "companion".

The emotional bond is important.
I remember I couldn't bring myself to eat those chickens that I watched growing up.
Makes me appreciate and I try to minimize the meat I eat.
With only tofo, beans, nuts, fish and poultry is fine by me, less greenhouse gas.

Hypocrisy is an Art for Indians.

Man tell me honestly...do you really think hindus eat dogs? No hindu including dalits eat dogs..some northeastern people who are tribes eat dogs and it may be one such market for them.

When I was a child, my uncle had many big beautiful dairy cattle. It's his main source of income. It may not be your companion, but mine. I had a great time with them. Milk the cow, deliver, money earned by hard work, satisfaction.

There is a river near my home, green grass, blue sky.
The weather is cool in summer, great summer vacation when I was in elementary school.

We have dogs too, to safe guard the dairy cattle. So that I can have a nap.

Why the French (and European) eat horse meat?. Famine? Sick people and sick country.

Why British eat cow meat? Famine? Sick people and sick country (from Indian's perspective)

Why the US eat pork? famine? Sick people and sick country (from 2 billions Muslim's perspective)

Grow up and do not judge the world by your frog-in-well, primitive view. What is the problem with dog meat? It is part of our culture, the most advanced and forward-thinking culture in the world. The UK is no longer the world's center and we do not need to revolve around your culture.

Mongolia was once the greatest empire on earth, but look at it now. Same fate is awaiting you if you cannot accept the truth.

What a foolish post. There's a difference between domesticated and non-domesticated livestock.

Despite that difference, you're right that in principle, it is reasonable to eat anything and the anatomy of "disgust" varies across cultures - but the point being made is about animal welfare, which needs to be reasonably consistent through global regulations. The added point being made is that India in particular should be taking a lead role on animal welfare given how it markets itself as a cow sanctuary and vegetarian heaven.

As long as they are not pets, they cannot be treated as "companions." If you raise a cow as a pet, I'm pretty sure you can also call it a companion. Dogs bred for the purpose of slaughter should be treated as edible foods, not as a pet. There is no such thing as classifying an entire animal specie as a pet. I've always wondered about the taboo towards dog eating ... as long as they are not pets and are specifically bred for consumption, what is wrong with that? Eating a dog is just the same as eating a cow or a chicken.

No he's right. The dogs being slaughtered for consumption are not pets ... they're food just like cows. Horses are also domesticated animals and yet they are still eaten. Why is there no outrage towards that?

Unfortunate to the dogs such practice needs to be outlawed

I thought this only happened in China, because of their history with famine etc..

What sick people, and a sick country. They are supposed to be vegetarians or does that only apply to cow eaters, eat a cow, get killed. But, everything else is ok, as long as it is hidden.

Thank God for the age of mass media and social media,
for far too long India has been able to hide behind a false image.

You all are making a mistake. Now fair warning ahead, please don't read my post if you just had lunch or dinner.

This wet market is based in a place called Churchandpur market in Manipur. And in some parts of Nagaland.

No Indian government official will dare venture into those areas to enforce a ban on wild meat. Most of these tribes practiced headhunting just a few generations ago. Some of the tribes still display the skulls of their vanquished foes in their homes.

Myanmar (Burma) is next door to their location. I once drove into North-eastern India from the Burmese border. On both sides, there are abundant wet markets openly selling live animals which no Muslim or Hindu will imagine consuming. I have seen dogs in cages being sold like poultry right on a national highway which goes to Calcutta. Even the restaurants and cafes sell these exotic meats. So if you're hungry and eating a mutton dish, you shouldn't calculate what is inside: everything qualifies as mutton! Vegetarian food is practically unheard of in those parts (I may be wrong).

As you can imagine, that part of India is unlike anything in mainland India. Some people there are eating monkey hands so they most certainly have no problem with beef/pork.

However, most North-easterners are very hospitable, friendly, and kind to visitors.
Only a minority still consumes bushmeat, or participates in the illegal animals trade. Despite having seen with my own eyes, I think PETA is exaggerating this story for sound bytes.

Some tribes in mainland Indian states such as Jharkhand, Chhatisgarh, Orissa eat ants, bats, snakes, and dead birds.

Pure vegetarian India is only 25-30% Indians. But they of course dominate the narrative.

Also beef is legally available and widely consumed in a few Indian states: Kerala, West Bengal, and the North-eastern states of course.

That is why I used "education and persuasion".
Its just me.
I had been biten by rats, because I kept the rats I catch at my factory.
It is very difficult to recapture rats that had escaped so I cannot release them.
So I end up feeding these rats I caught because I couldn't kill them.
Luckily they don't live long in captivity.

Good for you to be living near a river with green grass and blue sky, and have fresh milk from the cattle.
I had fresh warm eggs from the chickens though.

You destroying my wish to visit north-east India and walk across the alive tree bridges, and view the diverse cultures as yet close to originality as can be found in this modern age. One of my friends already destroyed my wish to boat through the backwaters of Kerala by mentioning they went on honeymoon there, but the mosquitos and the stench spoilt everything.

But, I'm made of sterner stuff, inshallah I will visit one day.

Hah hah. Do visit - very beautiful region. Lush greenery everywhere, and the people are extremely nice. They will also invite you to their homes for dinner.

There are many halal eateries but maybe you're better off with canned food.

EDIT: I don't generally believe in narrated recounts. I had my wedding honeymoon in Kerala around 2010. Had a really amazing time there. Yes, there are a few mosquitoes but nothing much to worry. Take anti-malarial medications with you,

You really are a piece of work, arn't you, talk about self obsessed ignorance.

Can you read Hindu in what he said,
he said Indian,
so in your head, all Indians are Hindus, and there are no other religious groups in India.

Shame on you.

lol, I nearly visited Mumbai 2 years ago for a friend's wedding, but had an issue with my passport renewal, in the end, there wasn't enough time for an Indian visa, because it takes a long time to get Indian visa as a British-Pakistani.

Halal is not an issue for me actually, I'm more of a secular Muslim (not a word you hear too often, I actually hate the word but it's just easier to say it), prefer to follow Islamic ideals, rather than let's say the actionable side of religion, Allah can judge me how he wishes when the time comes, I feel I'm quite safe lol.
But, I'm also immensely proud of my heritage, not for the exclusion of the others, but for recognition of what and who, I am.

I won't be eating any home dinners for sure lol
I'm glad you corrected me about Kerala, all my Indian friends want me to do is visit the mountains and this and that. I tell them Kerala, northeast India, and the Hindu temple architecture especially in the Orissa, Madhya Pradesh region, and also the Carnatic south, and the Western Ghats. they look at me as I've said something stupid. But you won't find those places anywhere else in the world.

I have been away from India for a long time. One of my closest business partners in Singapore right now is a Pakistani Punjabi. And I have met many before, nothing like some of the Defence.pk rabid fanboys. In fact I like them compared to my own Indians.

I am non-religious /secular myself. But I make it a point to visit Nizamuddin Auliya shrine in Delhi every time I am in India. Even though it's a mosque, I connect very well with the ambience there.

Nice to meet you

I already blessed you in our previous interaction, I won't repeat myself too often, feel like a teenage girl if I get too sweet lolol

My intention was not to let out my personal information here on PDF, because people start judging you rather than your arguments and put you in a box, but I've truly enjoyed interacting with you. In one of your post in another thread, you mentioned your ethnic makeup, mine is almost exactly the same.

It is such a shame that African pride, European pride, Latin pride exists, the south-east Asian nations also have a sense of unity but we just getting further apart. Not in a historical nationhood sense, as I do not believe in that, but I strongly desire a cultural unity, I've heard some Bhajan instrumental music being played live (well live but on tv lol), it is truly peaceful. There is a need to find a new narrative or there is no end to this madness.

Me too. Warm eggs in the morning during my childhood. My grandma will pick up the eggs when she hears the chicken crow.
There were a lot of animals in countryside when I was a child, snake, frog, pheasant, as well as cow, pig, goose, duck, dog, donkey, mule.
They are all my companions.
I spent most of my childhood with them, instead of human being. Much more interesting.
