Whenever I ask carnists this question, I actually get tons of them saying “Eating dogs and cats is moral in places where it’s culturally acceptable, but where I’m from, it’s wrong because they’re pets and not food.”

To this, I always respond by saying “Okay, so in countries where homophobic violence is unfortunately a norm, is it socially acceptable? What about female genital mutilation? What about treating women as second-class citizens?” and despite me literally just taking their logic to its conclusion, I get some baseless “That’s different tho!” as a response.

smh my head
