I'd rather not grill if it means killing an animal that doesn't want to die. Fortunately, Beyond Meat makes some fantastic hamburgers (called the beyond burger) which grill up very nicely.

why the one sidedness?
people who get dogs nowadays only want to "aww" themselves to sleep or be coochie coo with it by dressing it up in a tux or give it some 500 dollar hair cut. Once they get bored of it, they throw it away on some remote highway.
owning dogs used to be for securing the property or aide in hunting, now its just a fashion statement.

The one-sidedness is humans saying that they are the only ones deserving of life. It's justifiable to kill in self-defense. I would kill an animal (or a human) to save someone's (or my own) life, but if there was a way to defend myself or someone else without killing, then I would do that. If a human intentionally kills another human (not by accident or in self-defense), I think the death penalty is not out of line.
Sure, why not have a dog as a loving companion, to treat nicely? Is there anything wrong with living beings enjoying each others' company and living symbiotically?
I will agree that disposing of a dog once they get bored with it is wrong. A pet is a lifetime commitment and one needs to commit to the responsibility before obtaining one.
True, owning dogs used to be for securing property or hunting. Animals have been exploited for millennia. It doesn't make it right. Animals should be seen for their intrinsic value, not just as objects that serve man.

So what? They are still deserving of a happy life. That's such a psychopathic way of thinking.
