Free meat and old habits...

Back in early 70's, my uncle sent me off to Korea for 13 months. Yobo and I would set up on hooch roof and watch all the goings on throughout village as there was martial law and they could shoot ya if they wanted too after midnight, but never did.

Weren't many strays as the Koreans ate alot of dog. I watched 2 guys chasing this scrounger up and down the alleyways, finally a scuffle and here they come with dog by back legs, quite common actually over there;; and street lepers too. Gotta luv the USA.

Here along the Yukon River, some white people downriver eat dog meat, and like it; nobody makes fun of them either. One guy I know gave 6 dogs from his dogteam to this joker as this guy didn't have snowmachine. The guy ended up eating 2-3 of the dogs over the winter. Nx time I run the snowmachine down that way, I took him a ham, and can of coffee, ha.

I wondered why those dogs were called Chows.

I watched a show where a Chinese Woman told the interviewer that they prefer to torture the animals to death because the animals fear makes the meat taste better.

Very humane, don’t you think? Lovely people those Chinese.

All the Animal Rights people in this Country should go to China and Korea to see what’s really going on.

[I still care]

They kill them through slow strangulation because supposedly that makes the meat better.

This is one instance I am for regulation. Dogs and Cats ARE different than other animals. It seems horrible to me to kill them.

LOL...I had to look first and see if anyone posted that...I love it!

That's why cats 'play' with mice before killing them.

What goes around comes around...

If it moves and you are hungry you eat.

dog stew is popular for its supposed warming qualities.

A dog stew will warm you for a day.
A dog companion will warm you for a lifetime.

I really find it difficult to be judgmental about peoples cuisine. If you like dog then that should be legal. Just don’t take your neighbors dog.
