Dogs and religion in the same topic make a dangerous mix. Just wait until John gets his hands on it.

Dogs are considered unclean in Islam.
Let's leave this one to the religious nuts.
Actually, I didn't feel too bad.If there was a god you would catch one of the following...
*prays*
Dogs are a product of man and select breeding started originally from wolves. Different part of the world bred dogs for different reasons.
Hunting- 1st known use- kill, spotting, chase, smell, retrieve etc
Protection- home, business and family. Maybe the most important task.
Rescue- earthquakes, avalanche, fire, etc
Assisting- leading the blind, truffle sniffing, herding, etc
Transportation- dog sleds
Entertainment- races, shows, fetch/playing, fights(see Mick Vick)
Companionship- Children and the elderly especially. How else do you explain lap dogs
Police work- finding and detaining criminals. Its a class A felony to kill a police dog in the US.
Employment- groomers, vets, pet stores/suppliers, etc
Dogs have so many other uses as well. They are loyal and considered man best friend. What more must they do to stay off the menu?
There's a huge variety of food on this planet, some species need protected in civilized countries. Poor/hungry countries are the only exception, IMO. I think posters here throw around culture a little too much. Diet and culture may coexist on certain holidays but overall daily food consumption shouldn't be an issue. I quit eating yummy veal and it hasn't affected my culture or anything else.

We didn't breed a species for delicious eating?
Now exchange dogs in the above quote with horses.Hunting- 1st known use- kill, spotting, chase, smell, retrieve etc

Once they start partaking in society as our equals I shall no longer consider them food.Dogs have so many other uses as well. They are loyal and considered man best friend. What more must they do to stay off the menu?
Glad that you summarized everything important.
Are we still talking about dogs, or did you suddenly start preaching about religion?It would be really dumb to disrespect someone who has given us so much.
Then there would have been no point to the thread.Well you could have made your conclusion before you started this thread then.
@John Rose : Tell the truth, you had your mind set in creating this thread. I don't know whether it's your truthful viewpoint, however it's the viewpoint you've dogmatically had throughout this thread.
It's called arguing from a position. I argued from the position of the korean whom loved his bbq'ed dog with mustard, and the opposition failed to serve any logical arguments that illustrated how it was ethically wrong to eat dog-meat.
No, really?Well I argued from the position of a dog owner who clearly considers your ideas completely unacceptable.
I guess they missed it because there still is a real need for Captain Obvious in this world. I might yet don my cloak and wise proverbs in order to educate the masses! Those were the days, eh?How did everyone miss the fact that he was arguing from a point? I caught it straight away.
