They are the same in the ways that are relevant to this argument. Some dogs aren't housebroken. Some dogs you can't play fetch with. Do you eat those dogs?
i didnt suggest eating any animal is ok. I'm pointing out that is simply untrue to claim there isn't a lick of difference between cows and dogs
There's a difference between different dogs too. You write like all dogs are the same. Again not all dogs play fetch or are housebroken.
this doesn't change whether dogs are different from cows
Your argument wasn't that cows are different than dogs but that you could play fetch with them.
Stop ignoring the actual argument.
that's all i've been arguing this whole time.
The differences that everyone has already acknowledged that exist between a dog and a cow isn't relevant to this particular argument.
I've already said a cow isn't a dog. You keep repeating an argument no one is making.
The argument is about the ways in which a cow is similar to a dog.
if there is more than a lick of difference, and you can admit that, then there is no further discussion.
The differences being discussed are what makes one animal food.
Again absolutely no one has said a cow is a dog.
That's a strawman you prop up because you thought cows were practically vegetables. Then I showed you that they can be house trained and play fetch.
You were wrong.
