First of all, we should distinguish the relationship between cats and dogs and pets. Although cats and dogs are the main pet species of modern humans, cats and dogs are not equal to pets. Only cats and dogs that are cute and well-behaved and introduced into human habitation are kept as pets, not all of these two species. Therefore, it is obviously wrong to logically equate cats and dogs with pet cats and dogs that establish close relationships with humans. On the other hand, if cats and dogs have really established close ties with human beings, why are many stray cats and dogs in dirty and sick urban and rural corners left unattended and without help? It is ridiculous that human beings who have no worries about food and clothing should let a large number of cats and dogs who have "close relationships" with them live a hard life of sleeping in the wind and eating nothing!
Secondly, cats and dogs, as human pets, have achieved a "close relationship" with human beings by virtue of their ability to make people happy and relieve loneliness, and become a forbidden species, so the author will feel wronged for cattle. Niu Geng technology lasted from its appearance to the end of the 20th century, and lasted for more than 2,000 years in rural China. Now, some rural areas in backward areas still maintain the tradition of Niu Geng. The appearance of Niu Geng greatly saved the labor force, expanded the scale of production, promoted the development of social productive forces, and then promoted the change of social system at that time, and promoted the transformation of slave society into feudal social system. It is no exaggeration to say that the application of Niu Geng has played an extremely important role in the progress of human society. Therefore, should this great species also be included in the list of prohibited use? In addition to cattle, there are people who keep pet pigs and think that pet pigs are also very cute. Is it necessary to put pigs on the forbidden list?
Finally, the reason why cats and dogs are more closely related to human beings is obviously to serve a small number of people who love cats and dogs. Although most people in modern China don't like cats and dogs, they don't object to others eating cats and dogs. Only a few people strongly oppose or even promote legislation to ban the consumption of cats and dogs. Then we can't impose the hopes of some people on most people. When promoting or banning something, we should fully consider the size and acceptance of the audience. We should take this ban as a warning.
Reason 2: It is the common understanding of developed countries and regions to prohibit eating cats and dogs, which is the embodiment of human civilization.
This reason is the most unsatisfactory and incomprehensible, and it is also the core "joke" of this ban. So far, only a few countries have explicitly banned the killing and eating of cats and dogs. It is also difficult for the author to understand that these "consensuses" are "consensuses" hammered out there; What kind of "human civilization" does The Embodiment of Human Civilization reflect? If the prohibition of eating cats and dogs is really a "consensus" and a "manifestation of human civilization", then why don't most developed countries and regions explicitly prohibit the slaughter of cats and dogs and the consumption of cats and dogs? It can be said that fasting cats and dogs is not the consensus of everyone at all, nor is it the embodiment of human civilization, but the wishful thinking of some people in the West.
Many people are right
