Chossid: “Rso: The third, bimchilas kvodo, is stam meshigass.
If you can please explain why.”

There is no inyan of arvus in encouraging goyim to keep their mitzvos. Aderaba the fact that they keep even three things is part of the cause of our lengthy golus. See Chullin bottom of 92a and top of 92b.

Also, it means that when trying to encourage the keeping of the sheva mitzvos more bochurim come in contact with goyim and goyishe values. It’s bad enough when they come in contact with the values that non-frum Yidden have, but this can be even more dangerous.

Furthermore, it is an innovation that is ridiculous because it leads to distorting the Torah. Just look at the “Seven Mitzvos for Sevtnty Nations” cards and pamphlets that are distributed which contain the “mitzvah” of being kind to animals.(Some actually say that the mitzvah is not to eat the limb of a live animal, but the explanation they give below that is to be kind to animals.)
The mitzvah is not to eat eiver min hachai, and that has nothing to do with being kind to animals. If a goy will put an animal to sleep, amputate its leg, and then kill it while it is still asleep, he will be a lot kinder to the animal than when he kills it by shooting it in a forest. But in the former case the leg is eiver min hachai while in the latter it is muttar lechatchillah.

I stand by what I wrote that it is a meshigass, and I have NEVER heard a non-lubavicher of any stripe think differently.
