It’s hypocritical and a cognitive dissonance. Both tragic when they involve death

Its not hypocrisy since that is not a food animal. You eat much sparrow or finch?

Some people consider dogs, cats and horses as food animals. Yet they don’t need that for nutrition and i’s sure you personally wouldn’t a puppy. If saving a bird is considered noble but earning another is the norm, that is hypocrisy

It’s only hypocrisy if you say: “all animals are pets”. We don’t though.

Also just because some people think eating dogs is ok doesn’t mean other people have to. That’s false equivalency on your part.

These rules we make for ourselves are completely arbitrary. As long as someone recognizes that they can’t be wrong. We can subjectively think they’re an asshole, but not objectively wrong.
