I find eating a dog sick, but on the flip side I have heard of dogs (not wolfs) eating humans with is also sick, In my study of cryptozoology I am come across things about dogs that look normal ( like a husky or german shepheard or any other large dog) but have a taste for humans and swallow kids 9up to age 14 in some cases) whole! this why I never will get a large dog

Reading the posts here, I do agree that its no different than say eating a cow.

Admittedly I couldn't bring myself to eat a dog, though.

But the point is they're not just killing the dogs they're TORTURING them out of some unproven belief that it will make them taste better.

I don't see the difference between eating a dog and eating a cow. I mean, go to Asia and you see it all the time. They skinned snakes too - live - to add adrenaline. It was pretty tasty too. So yes, while you think of them as domestic animals - they are just meat and bones like more (in the West) orthodox animals to eat.

THATS WHAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SAY TO EVERYONE

They do it to a lot of animals though. And it does make them taste better. Like I say - it's the adrenaline. I mean, I wouldn't approve of it myself, but it's the done thing.

Is it any better that animals we eat in the developed world are often starved of sunlight, cramped in small spaces and transported miles in poor conditions or beefed with hormones to grow faster?

Is this not worse torture as it lasts a lifetime?

franky, duck, veal, dog meat , horse meat, and human meat, are all sick food ( who are the sick people who eat cute little ducks?!?) and should not be allowed anywhere

Which makes me think... http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Davi...Frappachino.jpg
Mmmm.

I do I also eat veal, elk, venison, beef, pork, fish, shellfish, bacon, turkey, and sometimes goose.

you have odd taste, you would eat cute little duckies sick!

I didn't get to read all of the replies to this post so, forgive me if I am repeating some things already said.
I understand the side that most people eat animals such as cows, chickens, pigs, etc. without a problem. And that some people view eating dogs in the same way.
The main difference for me is that dogs (and cats) seem to be so much more than just animals. Here, in our culture, dogs become family members. Therefore it seems appalling to us to eat a family member.
Sure, some people might have a pet cow, chicken or pig that they adore. But, realistically speaking those type of animals can't return affection in such a way as a dog or cat.
Dogs are loyal. Dogs become a member of our "pack". Dogs sleep in bed with us and nudge our hand for affection. They get sad if we scold them and happily wag their tails when we come home.
In most people's minds, dogs and cats are house pets. While a cow is livestock and there for the eating.
The only difference between the two is that one is a family member and the other isn't.
I just have a hard time understanding or believing that another culture doesn't feel the same connection towards dogs or cats. It is hard for me to wrap my head around that whole idea.

Now duck is very very tasty.....

Trust me..... When faethers and head removed..... Duck don't look too cute to me

I agree. I know it's egocentric, but I just can't grasp it and I think it's sick.

I can't believe people do eat horses.

That's the main part! In their (Chinese/Japanese) cultures, eating dogs are nothing to bat an eyelid at...They are norms.



No, I love seafood, redmeat, and poultry (duck more than turkey or chicken)...They taste sooo good.

Not in India...They're apalled by eating beef..
In Jewish populations, pork is considered unclean.


This is a classic Western biased response...The East and other parts of the world have very, very different views, cultures, and norms.

Hmmm..I never considered myself biased because I do know about everything you are talking about.
I live in Austria where we have many many of such people, I have travelled extensively and I still don't understand it.
No matter how normal someone else thinks it is, I will never think eating a dog is normal. Just like they probably wouldn't understand why I am so appalled at eating a mere dog.
This is a classic Western biased response...Not really. This is a classic Lorelei response. A lot of other people already voiced there opinion that it isn't much different than eating a cow or chicken. To me, it is different.
I also don't eat veal, duck, venison, lamb or rabbit. I have different views regarding them which most "Westerners" do not.
Different folks, different strokes.

^I agree. As a lover and owner of dogs and cats I will never understand it. And I hate when people tell me I am being narrow-minded and that the only reason I don't understand it is because I wasn't raised in a culture where eating dogs and cats is acceptable. I'm sure there are people out there who were raised in a culture where it is acceptable and still dont understand it. I actually won't eat any animal, but fish and chicken and very rarely will I eat beef. I cannot stand the thought of eating deer, lamb, or rabbit. I dont understand how someone can say eating..say a chicken is the same as eating a dog, an animal is an animal. No it is not in my view. Dogs are so much more affectionate, loyal, and intelligent. In my culture a dog is man's best friend, a member of the family. They are also used to help the handicapped and are trained to aid police and rescue people. And if I were raised in a culture where people thought nothing of eating dogs, I truly believe I'd still be apalled by it...I would still view them as being so much more than just meat.

I keep reading a reoccuring theme of dogs being part of the family, there etc.... etc....

I admit that there are differences, but what I am likening this to is that a great deal of us will at some point (most probably as kids after the fair) had a pet goldfish.

If you were lucky it would live a good 5+ years, and even though you probably thought it was pretty boring someone had to feed it daily, clean it's water (if you weren't posh), and we all were sad the day it popped its clogs.

However we still eat fish without batting an eyelid.

Whereas I couldn't bear the thought of eating dog as many of you, I do wonder how many of us would enjoy the meat had we mistaken it for another in a serve yourself restaurant, before running to the bathroom on finding out and declaring it revolting forevermore thereafter..... Regardless of enjoying before knowing.

Meat is meat. If I'm hungry enough; and if it fulfills my caloric requirements, I'm going to eat it..
In the end, the day belongs to the least squeemish!

okay you do know when you said that HUMANS Have MEAT on them, so when you say that if your hungry enough you would eat humans sooo..

If the situation did ever arise I'm sure I could. Thing is, I see all meat the same. I mean, I have two dogs and I love them to pieces, but in Asia they eat them. So what? It's not like they rob people's families and cook their dogs...

true its there thing I mean if they want to eat dogs why should we tell them its wrong, I suppose if Ilive in one of those countires I would proably eat dog, its a thing, we eat cows, in some places they think thats sick, so dogs are some peoples pets, I see no problem eating a stray that is going to be put down anyways, I just don't see whats wrong with eating dogs as long as they are not trated meanly before they did kill them or eat them alive or something like that, my girlfriend (who is from japan) often eats do and can't understand why some people make such a big fuss about it why they eat cow meat

Yeah; pretty much..If it comes down to me starving to death or serving you as Long Pig; I'm going to go with the cannibal thing..
You may not want to stand near me during the Apocalypse..

good to know but my girlfriend would have eaten me or you by that time, she eats duck, dog, cow , pig, deer, veal, rabbit, froglegs, etc bascilly any kind of meat that isn't illegal or dangerous

I've eaten all those things too..I guess I know who I'll want around come the bad times..

Chickens are kept as pets in India. It all depends on your culture.

and she (my girlfriend) has had outdoor suvial training can benchpress 300 pounds (or whatever system of weight japan goes by) is 6 foot tall, trained with a martial art master in her in native japan, but and will eat almost anykind of meat, but if there was situaion were we were reduced to cannbailsm you would not want to be anywhere near her, and she has said many times ho eating dogs in not such a bad idea, she says it is very tasty and we make to big a deal out of it, like I said a persons view and diet depends on were your form, and why are people called by cannbials "long pig"? now this is kinda of creepy but my girlfriend has said that if she was hungry enough and there was no possible way of getting food before she would die of hungat she would eat a person (even me or her little brother and othe members of her family!) but most people would in that case I suppose but I fear traveling with her and a accident happening cause she could kick my butt quiet easy, so basiclly if your cultural eats dogs who are people from a different place to judge

hahaa.... your girl are kool!! my girl also eat almost any meat, but she didnt like vegetables i have seen a kitten boiled alive. thats why i dont eat four-legged animals anymore. but chiken, duck, bird are are yummi.. especially the young ones !! they're crispy!!

the poor kitty my girlfrirend won't eat cat meat cause she thinks kittens are cute (which they are) I can't stand the thought of eating duck cause ducks are soooooooo cute, and why are humans called "long pig" by cannbials??

well.. maybe b'coz our (white) skin look like pig ? back to topic, i also seen i group of man hunt dogs before start a war. village war. nuts

That really got me laughing. I've never heard someone say that before.

But with an overdose or whatever is that the dog is given - wouldn't be worn out after a few mins due to really going at it?

I, personally would never eat a dog

Wouldn't eating a snake be like eating spagetti? Chop his head off and taxidermy it then chop the body in half, cook it with some pasta sauce and serve with some mince. There ya have it - snake bolognese

Let me just say ick.

As for the cannibal situation: It's culture to sacrifice and eat humans, look at the film Cannibal Holocaust. Or maybe those American Satanist vampire people who ate a friend.

I guess some people just think a human is just another piece of meat.


Anybody ever eaten Grouper fish with sauce? Very tasty. I had it in America, best food I ate while out there. Then I went to sea World and saw all these little red grouper fish swimming round.

I'd definately eat it again though

I've eaten many, many kinds of fish...I've caught many grouper myself and ate them...very tasty.

I've only eaten the cod I caught when fishing with my dad, fresh fish eaten on the night is always tasty especially with my dads beer batter.

I don't think Grouper exist in England - too cold it seems. I've never seen them on the fish market.

Did you eat them with sauces?

My mom cooks them baked, fried, battered, and with curry or masala sauce.

My dad smokes the salmon we catch in the spring.

Oooooh, smoed slamon

It tastes great, especially because the salmon in the spring are especially fatty.

Its been happening for a long time.

now I notice no one takes the dog side when a dog eats a person.

i love eating dogs, mind you i am chasing cats alot more

Well, if they're wolves, I have no problem.

Unless it is me

really? or are you just joking around

Does he use a pipe, or rolling papers? They seem like they would be hard to keep lit...

As for the dogs, people eat everything, so dogs are no different. Once I accidently clicked on a video that was titled something unsuspecting like "kittyfood", to my horror is was a video on the streets of china of a guy beating a kitten to death with a club and then skinning it for a sale to a customer. To me it was horrifying as I really like cats and dogs, but for some other person it is no different than how horrifying it would be to see a cow slaughtered for your burger.

It is hard to get really upset about people eating a dog when you are stting there digesting a cheeseburger...they are both disturbing if you ask me. I don't eat meat anymore and I am not looking forward to ever doing it again. Now the idea of meat turns my stomach(and what happens before the "meat" hits your plate"...).

It is sad, I try not to think of such things.

It's an art Salmon rolling paper, you can buy it at your local outdoor store

what if it was some ones husky

Then the one on the hot seat is the owner
