dont hate me but i have tried dog meat, snake and almost all the great variety of animals available at some nice restaurants in china and i must say dog meat is great!
Whats the difference of eating dog, horse, cow, etc meat? I dont see any cruelty
Yeah, I've never eaten dog and I cannot bring my self to do so, but I've eaten just about everything else including cow, pig, wild boar, elk, deer, moose, bear, deer, alpaca, bison, water buffalo, ostrich, emu, llama, raccoon, opossum, crow, chicken, alligator, snake, turtle, fish of various species, snails, grubs, bugs, worms, slugs, and just about anything else that moves or crawls. Why? At one point in my life I went through this hardcore survivalist phase. I'd take a trashbag, a pocket knife, some matches, and a rifle out into the woods for the weekend. What I shot, I ate. If I didn't shoot it I didn't eat. Also, working with exotic species like I do, I know quite a few people who raise these animals for meat purposes. Gifts of steaks or "try this doc" aren't uncommon.
The thing is I was raised one shot, one kill. The key to me is humaine killing of the animal and utilization of all parts of the animal that can be used. You have to respect the animals body in its death. I don't agree to shooting an animal just to kill it for "sport". I also dont' like the stories of beatings, hangings, and essentially torture prior to death associated with eating dog in SE Asian countries. The animals deserve a quick, humane death.
Would I eat a dog if I was starving? I don't know. I've never been in that situation. Right now my dogs are asleep at my feet. These dogs will also help me survive by providing protection and assisting in the hunt (ideally)in the event of my needing them. They will stay that way in my world.
