The video above shows a man eating a burger, clearly enjoying his meal, when the narrator says, “This man is eating a Golden Retriever burger.”
Vegans, vegetarians, and meat eaters alike are likely to wince at such a horror, their stomachs upset at the very thought of eating an intelligent, loyal dog. But why is that more upsetting than a cow, pig, chicken, or any other animal who is killed and turned into ground meat for human consumption?
According to Beyond Carnism, an invisible matrix that meat-eaters are plugged into teaches them that it’s acceptable to eat certain types of animals and not others — that it’s okay to eat the flesh of a baby cow but not of a puppy.
In a second video, Melanie Joy, Ph.D, explains for non-vegans how seeing pigs, cows, and chickens on dinner plates is just as horrifying to vegans as seeing dogs or cats would be.
Joy challenges a popular misconception that vegans are preachy and extreme in their practices by asking non-vegans to imagine they find out that their meat comes from puppies and kittens, farmed in painful, torturous ways before being slaughtered for lunch and dinner.
Joy proposes that non-vegans who want to support vegans can dive into discussions by simply saying two powerful words: “I understand.”

God bless you for your compassionate heart and your ability to share that with others.
I support you fully and thank you so very much.
That is a terrible hamburger 🍔.
I thought you were about helping animals … this article is horrendous.. I won’t be following you anymore.. absolutely distressing and DISGUSTING.
Dogs are NOT FOOD!!!!! This article is offensive on so many levels!!
It’s no wonder that abortion is the way it is. If people can’t take care of a pet, how are they going to take care of a Baby?
there is absolutely NO good reason for people believing that dogs are EVER more important or worthy than any other animal.
Except that they love you completely unconditionally and would do anything for you. Their heart is yours until its last beat. Why can you not understand that and give them the compassion they and other animals deserve?
We do not need dead animals to survive. Plant-based is the way to go. Should be no comparison with farmed animals and domestic pets and no animal should be eaten anyway.
GO VEGAN! BEST MOVE I EVER MADE!
What is it going to take to educate people that all life is sacred. Poaching animals illegally abuse neglect heinous violent crimes towards animals I don’t get. Did these types of people have nothing better to do with their lives but to inflict pain don’t know what it’s gonna take stricter laws stiffer fines I guess that would be a start maybe more people getting involved and being a voice for these Animals. I myself would like to get involved but I have no idea of who to contact or how to go about it any assistance would be helpful.
I wouldn’t eat my dog, I wouldn’t eat pain and torture from any animal or fish, I wouldn’t want to be less than human.
