which is ok, which is not

Eating a dog in the US

Eating a cow in the US

Eating a dog in Asia

Eating a cow in India



Sociological studies show that it's accepted to eat cow here, not in India, dog in Asia, not in the US.

Why is that?


If I ever go somewhere it's 'allowed'.... I'm eating a dog just to say I did. It's seriously on my 'bucket list"

oh my god. haha i have NO idea why it's not acceptable to eat dog here or any of the other "taboos" elsewhere but when I was in China this past summer, we went to a flea market and there was a stand with two dead dogs on the floor, cut open and then there was a dog all cut up on the table ready to be sold.

i nearly threw up right there on the dog and the man selling the poor dog :(
i think it's just our culture. we have dogs as pets and generally, dogs are considered as a part of the family over here. i think in Asia, there's just so many other things they are concerned with, like starving, not drinking the polluted water, making money, the government etc, that their priorities don't allow for them to be concerned with extra mouths to feed or worry about. We take things like that for granted i feel.

that's hardly scientific, just my thoughts :)

What does that have to do with anything? You implied that one should expect Asians to eat dog and I was explicitly talking about that. What does my homosexuality, or as you call it a "lifestyle", have anything to do with this? I see time and time again you try to bring in irrelevant information as arguments for your umm... purpose. It doesn't work and just makes you look inexperienced in debating.

lol @ arguing with banned people. way to get the last word in. do you feel like you won now? haha


as for the question.... I like the bucket list thing. I'd be more concerned with the sanitary conditions of the dog meat rather than eating the dog itself.

Dead COW on the floor with some cow meat ready to be sold would make me almost throw up too. Has nothing to do with it being a dog.

I have also noticed a "animals deserve protection based on their cuteness levels"

Baby seals are a nuissance animal, but they are so damned cute. Noone ever gets upset at killing racoons

Rats - killem
Squirrells - because they have a cute bushy tail - aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

Tuna fish cans that advertise "Dolphin safe" well isn't that just swell for the cute dolphins.... not so much for the tasty tuna though


I can eat a chicken, but an eagle is taboo

lol.....


On topic, I ate dog in Korea once, was fine I dont really see a problem with it, I think people cant get over it here because we don't breed dogs for food like cows and chickens, ect.

Just saying too in emergency situations, I would eat a person if it came down to it.

But would you be able to eat the person if it was someone from your own family? Assume that you would have to kill them first.

Depends on the situation, I am not going to kill someone in my family just for food. If we were like lost on a mountain out in the wilderness and they were dying and just said to do it. Post apocalypse, I would kill stupid people for food.

I just said that cause I really dont know why people have this problem with eating anything really. If we bread them to be eaten it would be ok tho? So if we start breeding clones of people to eat it will be ok? I find it confusing why people (not you specifically) think that some animals have more rights or should be treated better then others on the basis that some animals make for better pets. I eat veal, but I would see it as more humane eating your own dog after it dies then eating a baby cow that has been locked in the dark in a small box for its short life so their muscles cant develop. Out of sight out of mind much?
 
Asian guy here...yay...i have to say i havent eating a dog just yet neither has any member of my family. But i always wanted to try it but i either have to know someone who knows someone who know someone that cooks it (in the US) or go to Asia which i have never been. I have ate a lot of other stuff like bugs, alligators, kangaroos, ostriches, buffalos etcs....if i can find a place to serve tasty meats dishes I'll try it. To me meat is meat. I didnt grow up owning animals as pets so i really dont have any sympathy for animals. My wife does so she cant bear the thought of eating "pets". LOL ...I laugh at animal rights activist..they tend to always value animals over another human beings. I live in san diego and they have the protect the seal issue over at the la jolla area, one day i walked up to them and said 'seals are tasty' (i never ate one before fyi) just for giggles.. LOL. They just gave me the most dirt look ever and said some stuff. They werent going to anything...i would ground and pound them in a heartbeat if they did.

So I say eat what you like and a good animal is a dead one on my plate. :D

Great post!

I live in Carlsbad and have also had some fun with "save the seals" people at the cove in LaJolla. I have always said that if God didn't want us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat! :D

I also had a pet store for 17 years and had to deal with PETA protesters all the time since I was in an area where I was the only shop within 50 miles, so they had no one else to focus on! LOL

Nice...:D
Did you know that PETA destroy about 80% off the animal in their shelter? Here is the newsweek article: PETA and Euthanasia - Newsweek so screw those PETA protesters.

I lived in a high desert area and they tried to pass a petition calling for me to "immediately release" all the pets I had in cages and tanks "into the wild". It didn't matter to them that there was no way exotic animals were going to survive in the high deserts of California!

Once one of them kept sending her little girl in to complain about the rabbit's food dish being "dirty", (Rabbits crap in their food, it happens) We'd clean it as often as possible but it kept happening. Finally, the last time the girl came in, I said "well, we'll teach him a lesson" and I took the rabbit and tossed him in my Python cage, he was gone in less then a minute! You should have seen the look on the Mother and daughter's face! I said "see, you just killed that bunny!" They never bothered me again!

They were hypocritical idiots!

I personally would never eat dog in South Korea... and I'm a Korean-American. I just remembered that the dogs are basically beaten to death (no exaggeration) because it is believed that the meat will taste better if they're beaten. I think it's a similar idea to tenderizing. There is video evidence of men going around with paddles or grabbing the hind legs of the dog and slamming it against the ground until it dies.

It's one thing to raise an animal to be consumed... but to torture the animal beforehand? That has to be done by a compassionless human being... like a Nazi.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people only care about the end result and don't bother to know how their meat, vegetables, and so forth even got there. In regards to meat, most people refuse to know because they don't want to know the disgusting details.

Yes but is that any different from the millions of cattle, sheep, and pigs being herded into slaughterhouses where they're sometimes skinned and gutted while still alive and conscious? I think the only reason this touches a nerve is because mankind has domesticated dogs.
