Shackleton123 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 That is one of the main things I love about Thailand. Most people care about animals. I think it's a Buddhist thing and if it is, I want to become a Buddhist. I see Thai people feeding stray dogs on the roads, and it is uplifting, heartwarming. This man saved a life, and that was a precious thing to do. I raise my hat to him. Well done sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Buddhists are also Animism believers. 'google' that one for a better understanding. I maybe wrong but they will eat but do not want to do the killing.

Having spent some time on a farm and also a short work stint in a meatworks/abattoir I have no problem doing either the killing or the eating. But I do not subscribe to any belief/religious system that may sway me. Humans are at the top of the food chain and not likely to change anytime soon.

Feeding stray dogs is one of the more idiotic things people do here, most have rabies and they just make the situation worse. Yes he saved the little cat, then went home and ate a chicken.

In this case you do not know whether he is a Buddhist or what he did when he got home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
