China's dog meat festival opened this week?
China's dog meat festival opened this week?
"A walk through the festival would not be advised for any dog-lover. Carcasses are on display at many open stalls with "stiff pointy tails, leathery yellow skin, eyes shut and bared teeth as if in a final growl." Dog parts, including livers, are sold alongside with non-canine delicacies like cow tongues and pork hocks. Apparently, it’s common knowledge that small dogs or dogs that are too fat “don’t taste good.”

[We in the Western world keep dogs and cats for pets and wouldn't even think of eating them. Not always that way in Asia, especially China where between 10 and 20 million dogs are killed and butchered every year and sold as food. Even in China though people are protesting the eating of dogs and many sellers of dog meat no longer call it that. The signs now say "tasty meat". Pigs make good pets but we eat them with little thought. Hundreds of thousands of them. I understand that meat is meat but I would become a vegetarian before I would eat a dog. What do you think about it?]

Its not the eating of the dogs which bothers me its the way they kill them....they are often dropped alive into boiling water or beaten to death.

Re: China's dog meat festival opened this week?
It makes me very angry that someone would treat anything this way, let alone a dog.
Rose i'm not going to look at your link, as i've seen enough films and pictures to last this lifetime.
These barbaric , disgusting excuses for humans are loathsome pieces of sh*t. Hope they rot in animal hell.

Re: China's dog meat festival opened this week?
Its our Blade Runner future.
Canines evolved from the bond with our paleolithic hunter/gatherer ancestors.
As we become more sedentary and in larger numbers, the need and therefore the bond is broken.
Even 100 years ago, people would have defended their dogs with their lives in this country.
But now police routinely just shoot them as a nuisance.
And the significance is that the more we leave behind the nomadic hunter/gatherer historic life style we evolved for, the less satisfied we will be with our lives.
The more artificial and deprived we will be.
Dogs are measure, like the canary in the coal mine, of how much at risk our humanity really is.

and that matters whether or not we should eat dogs how?
Man has had an association with pigs for nearly as long as with dogs most people have no problem eating pigs.

100 years ago most dogs had a purpose today the best a dog can hope for is to be a molly coddled pet - which incidently is not what they want out of life.

we were evolved for a hunter gatherer life? how so?

If the animals are killed humanely, the only people who can criticise eating a particular species by others are vegans.

Intellectually I agree. As I said "meat is meat". I was offered BBQ squirrel in Mississippi and declined. Its up to the individual I guess.

Re: China's dog meat festival opened this week?
we used to have a little café in these parts called The Rabbit Hutch. They served rabbit in about every way imaginable, as well as other fare the woman who owned the place also played the organ while you dined on your rabbit altogether a rather surreal experience by the way, I would like a cocker spaniel bar-b-qued in the pit.
