Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

That’s fine. But it seems pretty funny that Asian countries hand wring over dog meat just because western countries throw a tantrum over it. The west has nothing to say about the other animals being eaten, but oh nooo, some old Asian guy eats a dog so we need to put him under a microscope because imagine little Timmy’s poodle being turned into a sandwich!

Of course as poorer countries develop, animals’ purpose evolve from pragmatism to also include companionship, but I can’t help but assume most of the prioritization of these policies come from annoying westerners who go gorge burgers and fail to understand that isolation and poverty will result in weird meals.

I'm not in favor or anything but I don't understand the logic under which it's banned in the US. Only happened recently, during Trump's term. Land of the free my ass (for a million reasons but it's just weird to me).

Why do you think Trump, a known racist, decided to prioritize dog meat of all the problems in this world

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

I didn’t know that, I guess he did one good thing at least.

Side note: Reuters breaks the auto fill for title. Don’t know if it’s on my end or not.
