Things I learned:

1. Unless you are a vegan, you're not allowed to have the opinion dogs are sub-optimal food sources for a host of reasons.

2. Americans, even those who donate their time, sweat, blood and money to stopping whaling, poaching of elephants, tigers and rhinos in other countries where it is acceptable, should just shut the fuck up and stop trying to impose their will on people as these animals are slaughtered into extinction because hey, tiger bones are great for boner problems.
