I was just wondering if it would be unprofessional for me to stand up for animal rights in my work place in the situation explained below.



I am a Senior Web Developer in a team of 5 people building online solutions for a fairly large group in the UK. We are building the main website at the moment but there are plans for a lot more solutions in the future.



We have hired a 3rd party company in another country in East Asia (I'll not mention the actual country) that is well known for eating dog meat a lot, which doesn't sit particularly well with me, been a dog owner and lover since childhood.



I am not a vegetarian, so this may seem hypocritical to some but I wanted to know if I took a stand on this in the workplace in some manner would it be wrong of me?



By 'taking a stand' I mean possibly asking that we not extend the contract beyond what has already been agreed for the current contract in the future for the reason explained above.



Or, is this simply something that should be left out of the workplace?
