Only when PETA stops murdering bazillions of mosquitos, miller moths, grasshoppers, etc. while driving their various types of vehicles will I ever take anything they say seriously. PETA members have no compassion for those baby mosquitos who lost their moms and dads due to contact with their windshields.

Of course PETA is a bunch of wackos, that's beside the point here.

Jimmy Breslin, who does not seem to like dogs at all, mentioned in a column I read that a new Korean restaurant with dog on the menu had opened in New York. He did not appear to be joking.

You cannot be for real!

Oh sure, like you've never pulled up beside a dead german shepherd on the side of the road, brushed the flies away, looked over your shoulder for poachers, and thrown it in the trunk.

Once had a chinese friend and the subject of dogs came up. I said "But they're our friends". To which she replied "But they taste so good".

Generally speaking if we follow natures example, only on rare occasions will you find predators eating predators. It make health sense to eat food lower on the food chain. Pork, being omnivorus is probably the closest I would think, I come to eating predatory animals(not counting sea food).

On the other hand I heard that the Junior Senator from here in NY has a taste for cat.

A state legislator is pushing a bill that would ban the slaughter of dogs and cats for food, drawing protests from members of some Asian ethnic groups who believe the measure is aimed at unfounded and racist stereotypes of their cultures.

Hey! If they don't really eat dogs and cats, then what's their problem?

Sean's new dog "Duffy"...

Duffy? So much for my name suggestion: Buy My Book.

I was expecting Sean to take his dog to the park, let him run around some and when it was time to go home yell, "Come here, Buy My Book".

I have to wonder, doesn't the government have anything better to do than tell its citizens what they may and may not have for dinner? Where in the Constitution is this power delegated to the Hawaii legislature?

[Kenton]

I'm starting to wonder about what's really in SPAM.

On my first trip to Maui I noticed the dive shop owner I rented equipment had a dog. I told him that that was the first dog I had seen on the island. He said yeah he's white. I ask what that had to do with it. He said that Filipinos would not eat white dogs. The next time I went to Maui the guy I chartered a sailboat from had a Jack Russel Terrier. I said well you must have him because he is white. He said you better believe that. They would steal him in a minute if he was not.

Paging K J I....

[Rebelbase]

What a wuss. If Sean had any cajones he'd have named his pup FReeper!

[Rebelbase]

Ooops. I personally attacked Sean. Too bad.

I was in China in 2001 and they really do have dog and cat dishes on menus in restaurants. I had heard about these things, but it was weird to actually see it.

One of our Chinese hosts told us very seriously "Please don't order the dog. Western systems are not used to digesting it and you probably won't like it."

I had no problem complying with that one.
