Sure, i'll respond to the general Idea of your post

I know you're lying, but what the hell.

1) Many of these dogs were house pets. They were raised and treated as pets their entire lives. The cows/pigs/chickens that undergo the factory farming process were never pets.

2) The factory farming/slaughterhouse process, while horrific in its own right, is all about profit and efficiency. It's horrible, and I certainly have problems with it, but it wasn't designed to cause wanton suffering. This dog festival is another thing. There is the belief that the more the dog suffers, the tastier the meat will be. Regardless of that belief or not, "Many dogs suffer before being killed, there are videos of dogs being beaten to death with metal bars, skinned alive, boiled alive and suffer many diseases" (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lychee_and_Dog_Meat_Festival).

Are the pigs/cows/chickens in factory farming skinned alive or boiled alive? I have seen the videos, they almost made me cry.

3) Yes, factory farming is bad, but that is a different issue.One can be against this barbaric festival AND also demand better conditions for the cows/pigs/chickens. I certainly do.

4) Dogs and humans have co-evolved together and their biology has been intertwined for ages. Dogs and human have been together before dogs were dogs and humans were humans. They copy human behaviors, learned to bark to communicate with humans, and release endorphins when they see "their" humans. A study shows that a very young puppy will walk to a person instead than to an adult dog (if he hasn't' met either), showing how oriented to humans their brain is now, they're basically hardwired to worship us.

They certainly are different from a chicken or cow, wouldn't you say?

5) again, there are news stories of dogs fighting snakes, cougars, even fucking bears to defend "their" humans, that is the degree of loyalty and awareness that a dog has. They also lead blind people, go on rescue missions and some are trained to detect diabetic attacks and situations like that before they happen. Some dogs even offer their own bodies as pillows to help humans suffering a seizure. What other species does this?

Try showing me evidence or cows fighting cougars to defend their farmers, chickens offering their bodies as pillows to help humans suffering a seizure, "blind leading pigs", etc. I'll wait. If you happen to show me more than 10 cases, I'll concede on this.
