I only eat non-family dogs.



I would do what he did. Maybe eat someone elses dog if there was absolutely no other option, but the dog would have to be dead first because I love dogs.
I am politically someone who is near the center of the scale.

And you can't get much more natural than arsenic. It's a periodic table element, for Lavoisier's sake.

Isn't it dangerous to ingest the arsenic yourself?

Well, yeah, obviously. You give it to the other person to eat.

I mean, it'll still be in their body when you consume them, thus poisoning yourself as well.

It's that or dying of starvation after their body parts run out.

I'm not even going to get into the should we eat meat or not argument, but keep it simple with this question: You and your dog, who is your truest companion get shipwrecked on an island and you can find nothing edible and are starving to death. Would you kill and eat your own dog? (yes this applies to cats and any other personal pets)


Eating domestically raised meat dog I could do easily.

Eating poorly kept aimals in general is problematic. It doesn't matter if they're dogs, cats, pigs, cattle, or chickens.

Eating the neighbors dog - depends. If it were that yappy Yorkie my previous neighbors had, no problemo.

No, but I might eat you. *looks at you lustfully while licking lips and reaching for a large rock*

EDIT: And I have just realized that if you replace the letter r in the last word with the letter c then it totally changes the meaning of the sentence.... :blink: ....... ;)
