Each year, millions of unwanted animals are put to death, since the shelters cannot hold all of them. Some sources put the daily average at 10,000 animal deaths per day. Just think of all that wasted meat. What if it were possible to raise awareness of this epidemic problem about animal treatment, while at the same time finding a use for all that flesh destined for an incinerator? That’s why SPCA should serve dog meat at an event on Fountain Square.
Would people find the concept outrageous? Good. That would, perhaps, help reduce the number of unwanted animals put to death daily.
Would people find the dog meat delicious? Good. At least that dog meat meal will be from flesh that would have gone to total waste anyway.
That’s why I just sent the following email to SPCA:
To Whom It May Concern:
I know part of your mission is to raise awareness about those animals who are treated cruelly. At the same time, I know you put down animals—whose bodies are destined for either an incinerator or burial.
I’d like to suggest you do something more productive with all that wasted pet-flesh: host an awareness event on Fountain Square where you serve cooked dog meat, for the curious to try.
Will this inspire people to become outraged? Good! The mistreatment of animals is worthy of outrage. Will is raise your organization’s awareness? Good! Your organization can always use more awareness.
And the perfect thing is that no animals will be “slaughtered,” so to speak, since you will serve only meat destined for destruction anyway.
Thanks, in advance, for your consideration, and I look forward to studying your reply.
Respectfully,
The Dean of Cincinnati
Naturally, I will keep you posted about any response they may send pertaining to this potential upcoming culinary and awareness-raising event.
