I wonder whats the real fuss about eating dog meat and makes it so iilegal and inhumane for eating them ? Its like eating dog meat is gonna make one less compassion and less humane. Then what about the cows, chickens, ducks , goats, pigs, fishes, sheeps and lambs which we kill everyday? Then what about the gracious and developed country like Japan, which you people like to look up to? What about the hundreds of whales they killed each year for food? There is a certain sea, which is nicknamed "The Red Sea" because the tons of whale blood which bleeds and turns the sea red, all because of the profitable whale killing. Then who was the one who decides which should be killed, or should be spared? You may argue that dogs are men's best friend, but I beg to differ. If the West ( esp the Americans) started the anti dog meatcampaign against China, why don't they look at what they are doing to their dogs in their military tactics ? They tied bombs to the dogs, send the canines to their enemies/terrorist hideout, then blow up the explosives from a distance, by a remote control. Dogs are used in many of their dangerous warfare. In the event during training, should the dogs get seriously injured and rendered useless, they are put to sleep. So who decides on all those animals' fate? Its the human's belief system, and the values they designate to each animals. And these values are again translated into how useful and how much proft the animals churn out into the human pocket I have eaten dog meat a few times when I was in China . They are as tender as the lamb, and as juicy, superbly suuculent as the wagu beef. Its just another animal to me. Infact so as long as an animal is edible, very palatable or can be made into a delicacy, which does not poison the human system, why not? When I was very young, I have eaten fried tiger meat, which were shot in the Malayan forest. Still its no big deal and its still a food to me. End of the day, its not what you put into your mouth. Its what comes out from it...when you say something... And hows that as a food for your thoughts?
