Jonathan Safran Foer Webinar Reaction Assignment

 Today in class we read the exert "A Case for Eating Dogs" which was about people eating dogs a good or bad thing. In my opinion it all depends on the person and their situation. A lot of times people will tease me and my culture saying that we eat dog in the Philippines. Yes it is true I am not going to lie, I have witnessed it. I found that people in Korea eat dog also but on examiner.com it says that the dogs they eat are bred and killed humanely like any other livestock. I own a dog myself and have become a attached to it so I would never imagine myself eating it. I do think eating dog is okay sometimes in extreme cases. For example, in the Philippines they do not kill and eat these dogs for fun. The poorer people that can not afford anything else eat dog meat to survive. If that is your last source of food or you can not afford anything else and you're starving, I say go for it. If we can eat cows or pigs without a hesitation then I do not see anything wrong with eating dog meat. I wouldn't say to just go and kill your pet right now because I definitely would not do it but in extreme cases I would eat dog meat for my survival. I just do not think it is that big of a deal plus the dogs could be raised like livestock which we eat every day. The author says in the exert “For the ecologically minded it’s time to admit that dog is a realistic food for realistic environmentalist” and  I agree. I  do not think it is that big of a deal in extreme cases especially since we do it to pigs and cows every day, we just need to look beyond dogs being a companion sometimes.
