“ELWOOD'S IS AHEAD OF THE PACK
Set the table with man's best meat.
Elwood's Organic Dog Meat has been family-owned and operated for over two generations. We're dedicated to offering our friends and neighbors the best, sustainably raised dog meat available.
Unlike some farms, our pups never receive antibiotics and spend little time cooped up. They have access to green pastures during the summer months and are fed only organic, soy-free feed.
Our dogs are:
- Free-range
- Local
- Organic Fresh, never frozen
- Free from antibiotics
- Sustainably raised
- Humanely slaughtered!
- Loved
Pups and dogs are available by the cut, quarter, half, or whole animal. Broth bones are available on a limited basis. Please contact us for breed availability".
Unfortunately for connoisseurs of canines, a close look at the small print reveals that it's a cunning ploy: "If a fake ad for a fake farm bothers you, maybe go vegan?"
As their website explains: “The truth is, most of the animals you consume are just like dogs in all the ways that matter:
- Cows are social and complex.
- Pigs are gentle with surprising intelligence.
- Chickens are intelligent and sensitive to the welfare of their peers.
- Sheep are peaceful and can pick up emotional cues in humans.
Throughout history, we humans had to learn to overlook who an animal is – and their capacity to suffer – in order to survive. But we don't have to eat animals anymore”.
And then it informs us that “CHANGE IS PAWS-IBLE” and that “you can live without causing intentional harm to animals”.
“Elwood’s Organic Dog Meat isn’t real, but we hope you’ll think about any anger it caused. Consider what it'd mean to open your heart to the idea that so-called ‘food animals’ are just as worthy of love and kindness – and maybe that there is no such thing as an ‘animal meant for food’.
At the very least, no animal deserves the cruel, short lives we create for them”.
