In a situation where the crops have been mostly destroyed for a season, and people are starving now, I don't think its much of a choice whether to eat meat or die watching crops grow.

But this is all far off in super hypothetical realm of what kind of famine there is, the scale, whats available, etc. Which isn't applicable to this article which just states they're taking rich people dogs to serve at rich people restaurants.

I just have an issue with moral arguments of veganism that disregard context. I agree that it makes more sense to grow crops, and that its much more feasible to feed large populations with plants. But I also won't put the value of an animal's life over the value of a human's life.
