Plenty of people do this. I had a pet Dog in Korea that we killed and put into a stew. It was delicious. But mostly they use "bad" breeds more or less specifically bred for the purposes of eating.

Yes, I know they do which is why I said that in my post. Thanks for reiterating what I said. However, you missed the point. It's kind of shocking to kill a pet that you were formerly attached to and then sit down to have it for dinner.

Stop the meat eaters! Allowing them to behave in this sick and perverse way only serves to let them stand one step closer to eating human meat!!!

I hope Peta gets involved. Then everyone can hate them.

Dog eating in itself is not a big deal, but the cruelty attached to how the dog is killed is a different story. I know that back in the days (may still be happening) Taiwanese dog meat sellers killed the dogs by putting them in bags and clubbing them all over to bruise the meat, thus making it more tender. I have a problem with that.

hi boss, good to see you as always....what's with that knife, eh?

 

[yowolabi]

Though i personally wouldn't eat a dog, I think that any carnivore that has a problem with this is a hypocrite.

Tongan is a culture that most Americans know very little about.

Therefore this dude should be treated akin to the same way we'd treat anyone else that we know very little about...with extraordinary rendition and taken to a country that permits torturing of suspects.

what about the soylent green option then? we have lots of people who die and we have lots of starving people. Aren't we just hypocrites for throwing out all that viable meat? Or is there perhaps some difference in perception between meat we consider acceptable food sources and those we consider off limits?

That's ridiculous, they are practically skin and bones.

You've got to go soup on this one.

Lol at this story, ok, its weird that the guy would kill his own pet, but thats his business, and... BIG NEWS: animals eat other animals to survive :shocked:

I know, amazing concept, I had a hard time getting used to it as well :roll:

Way to take that one into the outfield.

Indians think we are crazy for eating beef. Muslims think we are dirty for eating pig. We think the French are weird for liking horse.

You cant really hate on other cultures for what they consider a food source. Taking it to cannabalism doesnt work.

They probably acquired the dog with the intention of eating it when they got bored with it. I wouldn't think they would get too attached to something that will probably end up on the dinner plate, so the eating of a beloved family pet comparison may not be exactly accurate. They may have liked the dog in a sort of detached fashion, but I doubt they ever loved it. People who eat dog could probably never love a dog like people who don't, because eating the dog is such a real possibility to them.

There's nothing particularly special about dogs as opposed to other animals of similar intelligence that we already eat, so I think that's a perfectly valid viewpoint concerning them.

Makes me queasy.

There was that village in Africa where they ate their relatives after they died.

Didn't X-Files do that episode?

this thread is becoming a pest, honey. could you cook it for dinner tomorrow?

 

[BoomerD]

Hell, that's perfectly legal in most of the USA.

There was a story many years ago about a family in Kahleeforneeya that did much the same thing. An over-zealous cop arrested the guy and charged him with animal cruelty. Case was thrown out because it was proven that he humanely killed the animal...and that there was no law prohibiting the eating of dogs...

While I don't care much for dog, meat's meat, and if the animal is killed in a non-cruel manner, I have no problem with it.

Most of us here eat beef and pork...if you've ever been on the killing floor in a slaughterhouse, you'd know that those animals are often NOT killed humanely...but America demands her beef and pork, so unless some PETA moron gets video of cruel treatment, the killing goes on.

This. I mean is it really any worse than eating a cow? Or a chicken? Western culture doesn't really look at dogs as food, but it's acceptable in other cultures. As long as it was killed humanely I don't see the big deal.

And as others pointed out, it's not at all comparable to the Michael Vick thing.

somewhere along the line their culture went wrong perhaps

some cultures ate people after all.

dogs whether through coevolution or human selection read human emotion and intention/facial expression/gestures in a way that is unique. in some ways even superior to a chimp when it comes to dealing with humans. they are not regular animals domesticated for food. http://www.news.harvard.edu/ga...2004/02.19/05-dog.html

I've never had it, but I think guinea pig is pretty big in Peru.

When overpopulation looms and global warming has destroyed all our crops it's only natural that we'll eat the most successful animal on earth.

it's just meat. it works for sharks and theyve been around for a few hundred millions years. also works for rugby teams stranded in the andes.

Exactly. Probably a concept that's easier for people who have lived on a farm to understand. Sure you may grow somewhat attached to the animals, but if you know they're going to end up being dinner eventually, you don't get too attached.

A man stops to ask directions from a farmer sitting on his porch and is amazed to see a three-legged pig sitting at the farmer's feet. "That's a weird-looking pig," the man says. The farmer is furious. "Don't you ever say anything bad about this pig!" he says. "Just last week my wife and I were sleeping, and a fire broke out. This pig dragged us both to safety. Last month a robber broke into the house. The pig knocked him down, dialed 911 with his snout and sat on him until the police arrived. So don't ever say anything bad about him."

"I'm sorry," the man says. "But what's the deal with the three legs?"

"Mister," the farmer says, "a pig like this you don't eat all at once."

Its not just meat. Most species on the planet do not engage in cannibalism.

You're welcome to serve up your family at the appropriate time tho, if you haven't already.

I wonder if Gracie Williams cries every time she goes through the supermarket. Or any other place that serves food
