Criticism
Hot dog day events have been criticized for promoting animal slaughtering and for promoting animal cruelty, even if many of the activities of the events do not involve hot dogs. They have been criticized for encouraging people to turn a blind eye to these practices. Most hot dogs are produced by slaughtering pigs for meat, and vegetarians and vegans have created vegetarian hot dog days in response to the traditional events.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“As far as criticism is concerned, we don’t resent that unless it is absolutely biased, as it is in most cases.”
—John Vorster (1915–1983)
“I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life ... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
