Would Daugherty consider this as Animal Cruelty? Why eat meat?

When Daugherty writes about the cruel actions done to animals, she ultimately hold one party responsible, while supporting her side with venerable people. This can be seen in the first post about the running of the bulls as she uses the governor's worries about the event to prove its irrationality. Similarly, in the horse post, she uses a video which was made" by Donny Moss, filmmaker and winner of a 2009 Genesis award for BLINDERS, his documentary on the horse-carriage industry in New York and the inhumane conditions under which the horses work and live". Daugherty also depicts her opposition as illogical: "There’s nothing wrong with eating dogs. If they’re farmed in an inhumane fashion, then go after the farmers. No need to ban dog meat altogether". Here Daugherty is showing her audience how senseless and callous her opposition is. In a way, Daugherty challenges the responsiveness an responsibility of those in power as they fail to deal with such situations. She criticizes the dormancy of such controversies and ultimately blames those who don't really do anything about it.
