No kidding! That meat could be diseased or something... ewww. If it was inspected there would be no story (I can't imagine dog meat being any better than cow -- cows take damn good!).
I almost puked when I heard that on the CBC Radio but it is not the first time I've heard of unusual animals being prepared for consumption. I htink it is disgusting when you think of what your food really could be. Other storties like the problem in cow processing, also here in Canada where dead cow was supposedly mixed into good meat. Did anyone see the Air Farce joke about that one?
i dont know. a couple days ago we gave our dog and her puppies to the pound. thinking back now i could have gotten creative knowing they were gonna die anyway...
it's a mosaic of cultures here in Canada. everyone is encouraged to keep and freely practice their traditions. if it means cooking your national dish (which happens to be dog meat) so be it. we had a debate about this in Toronto a few months ago. people were writing to newspapers how sickk it was, and a certain ethnic group (i won't mention who) wrote that Canadians should be ashamed of themselves for repressing the rights and dissing old traditions of those people. it's one of the downsides of multiculturalism : severe culture shock. when 4 yr old little Lizzy sees Fido on a grill she starts crying
This has nothing to do with cultural differences, eating dogs is wrong, bottom line, if america had any balls it would start a war over this, and I'm not even joking. See my thread in human science on mans relationship with dogs to realise why eating dogs flat out is wrong, its like eating your team mate after he helped you win a trophy.
a dog is just another animal, if it move it can be eaten. would i eat dog, dont know, taste proberly, i dont like dogs. Dr Lou Natic, look at it this way, you are eating the other teams dog, making you team stronger.

Well...... eating animals are one of human nature too, okay? Whatever it is, sometimes crossing the line, human feel that one may eat them. Remember I mentioned about crossing the line, of course under such condition one'll have to take on the consequesces, Dr Lou.
what's the difference? an animal is an animal. i don't see why it's not ok to eat dogs and cats but it's ok to eat chickens and sheep. while we're on the subject, whatever you want to call it, the milk you pour on your cereal IS breastmilk. human or cow, it is milk from a mother's breasts. (i actually have an urge to make cheese from human breastmilk- i have to find a new mother willing to give me some milk). there are federal regulations to the amount of pus allowable in your milk. i don't want to consume any pus thank you.
I think that all of the dogs that are put down at the Humane Society should be cooked and sold at a restaurant, and the proceeds from said restaurant donated back to the Humane Society. That way, by eating a dog you could actually save another, still-living dog! Aces.
thats actualy not such a bad idea bigblue. but i dont think dogmeat would sell too well in the states. but you never know...
BigBlue, that might work...but how do they euthanize the dogs? It's done chemically isn't it? I don't know what the exact chemical is, but is it safe for consumption?
Dammit! I was laying a moral minefield right there, and you come and drive your big legal minesweeper RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE. Anyway, who cares if it's legal? There's no process for dogmeat inspection, so there's no way that eating dog could be legal anyway. I was trying to summon up the horrible thought of eating a sizzling, succulent dog steak, with a side order of fried mushrooms and onions, and by doing so SAVE A DOG FROM DEATH. For example: Humane Society: Well, Mister or Missus Armchair Animal Rights Activist, do you want to save these ten dogs from death? MoMAARA: Of course I do! What kind of a question is that? HS: Well, in that case, all you have to do is eat this delicious meal of dog meat! $29.95! Do it for the puppies... MoMAARA: Uhhhh... HS: We've got dog steak, dog burgers, scalloped dog filet, herring-stuffed dog tongue... MoMAARA: It all sounds so good! I'm conflicted! Should I save the poor doggies by tasting the forbidden fruit? Or stand on my principles, but ever after hear their agonized dying howls in my dreams? HS: How about you, Mister or Missus Dog Hater? MoMDH: Gimme a dog burger. HS: Thank you for saving ten wuvvly puppies, Mister or Missus Dog Hater! MoMDH: Dammit.
I wouldn't necessarily say it is wrong, but I have a few different opinions to offer freely. If it is in their culture to eat dogs, just like it is to eat cows in ours, then the can get away with it on a cultural basis. I wouldo tast dog if it was offered to me, but it would have to taste REALLY good for me to have it in my daily eating habits
