I can take a bus and in 25 minutes I will be within a 5 minutes walk of a restaurant that specialises in dog meat.

Objectively speaking, the life of a dog is not worth more than that of a pig or a cow. What about monkeys, as eaten in Africa?

In Europe, there's a similar controversy regarding horse meat (not sure about the US). I've eaten horse meat a few times, and I can't say that it challenges my conscience more than beef or pork.

First off they dont kill any animals humanely, and dogs arent meant for eating.

[TrapsMcLats]

Don't trust anyone that grew up eating meat that is also a house pet.

Dogs aren't meant for eating? By whose standards?

[~flower~]

  The cultures that eat dog meat have no standards as to humane treatment for the animal.   Yes, there are flaws and problems within the US slaughtering industry, but their are rules and inspections and an attempt to be humane.  In cultures that eat dogs they have no standards as far as treatment in raising and killing and in fact it is common practice to make the slaughter as painful as possible and the animal to suffer as long as possible because they believe the meat will taste better.

  There is no reason to be intentionally cruel and barbaric to ANY animal raised for food.   And that they do it to an animal that has been domesticated over the years to be "man's best friend" just makes it more heinous. 

   I have said this before, cultures can have their differences, but some things are just WRONG and standing behind "culture" does not make it right.

  The Olympics being held in China should be boycotted because of the attrocities China is known for in it's treatment of animals as well as it's people, and all the recalls because of lead paint on children's toys  and lethal ingredients they have put into products and shipped.

Are you reading the posts?   They beat the dogs till they are half dead then skin them alive.  They throw live cats into boiling water.   A person will go and pick out a dog to take home for dinner and the person will beat it til it is just barely alive and the person will take it home suffering. 

 That is cruel.  They are barbaric in both how they raise them and how they slaughter them.   

 You want to eat dog, fine, I can't say from just using it as a source of meat that it is wrong, what IS WRONG is what I have just explained. ANy any culture that supports that is fucked as a people.

Yes i am reading the posts and i know what you mean because i still remember the face of the little puppy i ate (he was like please man dont pick me). The thing is, why do you think its cruel? Killing animals no matter how is cruel BUT life sucks and you know that, and you cant really do anything to stop it.

ps: dog meat with sechuan pepper is as great as cow meat.

So who cares if one method is crueler and more inhumane?  Why have to use the cruelest method? 


 I think it is cruel to beat an animal to death or near death and then start readying it to eat when it possibility is still alive.  There are ways to make the killing more humane and as quick as possible for the animal. 

  Maybe I can't stop it, but I can make people aware of it. And I would never promote or have anything to do with that, unlike you who gave it a reason to continue instead of saying something and asking the vendor why he has to be such an unfeeling sadistic bastard and can't slaughter humanely?

Its cruel no doubt, especially when it comes about dogs. To be honest i thought about telling the chinese man to kill the dog (the first time i tried it) very quick but i do respect their culture, they dont ENJOY killing them, its just food, people pay for it.

You can't hide behind culture to practice cruelty.  They DO enjoy it because they have their fucked up old beliefs the meat will taste better if the animal is in pain. They don't have to beat the animal half to death.  They CHOSE to.

  I cannot respect culture that is blatantly WRONG. That is not culture, that is an excuse to continue to be barbaric.  Or is it in their ethnic genes to be unfeeling assholes?  Perhaps they can blame it on genetics instead of changing there ways. 

   And you in partaking in that and not having the balls to say something are just as bad.  You were paying for a meal, why didn't you insist on the preperation of that meal?   Instead you are just as bad. Not because you chose to eat dog meat, but because you had a chance to save an animal some suffering and did nothing.

Not having the balls...what? I enjoy everytime i go there and chose my dog, its the only place in the world where im able to chose a dog, and decide his faith. Call me barbaric, cruel, whatever, but i didnt kill any! They offer you that, you can accept or deny, i accepted it because i like to try new things.

Im sorry but i dont see anything bad with it, and you know what? it cost like 5 bucks.

You don't see anything bad with it?  So it was okay that they beat the animal most likely til it was just barely alive, then started skinning and cooking it (probably while it was still alive) when they could of humanely killed the animal and you still could of tried dog meat?

 You didn't do the killing but you chose the animal to suffer that horrific torture and by your own admission considered asking the man to kill it fast but chose not to.  So YES you are guilty of having no balls. 

  Justify it anyway you want so you can feel better, but you are guilty, not because you chose to eat dog meat, but because you chose to eat dog meat knowing how it was going to suffer when it died and not insisting it be done humanely.   You have a problem.

Why would I?  Another vile "industry"  along with the shark finners and the Chinese and others who collect bile from bears.

  Asian 'culture' as a generality is fucked up. 


  And Deicide, you are proving to be one weird guy,

I am curious Flower. I respect your passion for dogs and animals.

Why do you choose to live in a country that commits war crimes, human atrocities and has supported, tacitly genocide? Why do you pay tax dollars to fuel such activities?

You came down hard on the guy who tried dog meat because of the way they are treated. Don't you feel guilty for living off the blood and plunder your government commits?

Just curious and as I am essentially neutral on all these issues I am not judging.
