It would be replaced by other meat, so in the end it doesn’t really matter. Dog meat is just as bad as pig meat, in this regard. This kind of reform is purely because we like dogs and not pigs.
So no progress is better than progress because progress offends the specifics of your views.
I guess we should never shut down slaughterhouses while humans still hunt or fish too huh?
It’s not even progress. It’s only progress under our cultural view that dog meat is somehow worse than pig meat. But there’s no moral basis for it.
Hunting and fishing in contrast isn’t as bad as pig or dog meat, because they cause less harm to the animals. Shutting down all slaughterhouses in this instance would be meaningful. But only making dog meat illegal is only progress under the notion that somehow dog meat offends your specific views, but pig meat doesn’t.
My whole point is that preferring pig meat over dog meat is completely arbitrary, and energy is better spent fighting the meat industry as a whole.
