This may have to do with how emotional of an animal the dog is. Dogs are particularly good at sensing human emotion. It probably has to do with how we’ve used dogs over the last few centuries. Dogs, especially in western culture, have been used as hunting companions. This companionship is ingrained in our society, so eating dog is seen as eating your partner or emotional
You are at home in bed, tired, hair tied up, wearing your old socks, and a big t-shirt, trying to watch “Marley and Me”; it is at the part where the two main characters are adopting the dog from the pound and then a commercial comes on. It is not just a normal commercial, it is the ASPCA dog commercial. The sad music plays and pictures of cute, injured puppies appear on the screen, a voice then begins to tell you about how these animals deserve to be treated like people, and donating to their foundation will help save them. This is a type of psychology because you’re already feeling sad because of the movie, but now you’re seeing a sad commercial about dogs; this can make you think that adopting a dog is a good idea and is really what you

A puppy mill is “an establishment that breeds puppies for sale, typically on an intensive basis and in conditions regarded as inhumane.” There are thousands of puppy mills in the United States, some of which are not recorded. Therefore, the ASPCA has concluded that there could be over 10,000 puppy mills in the United States. There are many issues regarding puppy mills, from the way they treat the animals and the upkeep of their environment. Many of the puppy mills are not regulated and not licensed to own a puppy mill.
Dogs rely on their senses to find things and also to know if things are poisons or real food. Both cats and dogs, though, have a much stronger sense of smell than you do, so the smell of their food is very important to making it taste good to them. Alexandra Horowitz, a dog-cognition researcher at Barnard College, studied how dogs noises work. Dogs' noses also function quite differently than our own. When we inhale, we smell and breathe through

It is evident throughout the article that both Halkon and the main subjects which she argues for, Humane Society International (HSI) and Ricky Gervais, have taken an ethnocentric stance in voicing out their opposition against Yulin dog meat eating practices. By imposing their idiosyncratic opinion and understanding of justifiability of actions on that of Yulin culture, their ability to acknowledge and develop a sociological understanding of cultural practices apart from their own is thus impaired. Highly biased and even hyperbolic accounts are therefore being laid out by Halkon and her sources throughout the article. While the Yulin Dog Meat Festival may seem savagely cruel and may have enraged many, the Yulin locals view their culture of consuming dog meat in a very different perspective. To them, dog meat carries an abundance of health benefits and is of high nutritional value.
In recent times, there has been an increase in raw dog food brands. Most of the people who support raw food for dogs argue that it is the better and natural option for dogs. This means that the dogs are given all the food in raw form as opposed to processed food. Some people have expressed concern that there is a higher likelihood of contacting food borne illnesses from this food. This should not be the case if the raw food is handled correctly.
Depending on the processing methods employed to produce them, commercial pet foods fall into one or the other of the following two categories: heat-treated and raw. So-called 'heat-treated ' pet foods are processed using all-too-often excessive levels of heat. These foods are baked, cooked (canned), extruded, or heat-dried (often the case with kibble- or pellet-type pet foods). Diets based on such heat-treated pet foods are probably the least desirable in terms of maintaining the health and general well being of most animals. Heat processing of food destroys all enzymes, many vitamins and antioxidants, and changes the molecular structure of proteins and even fibers.
