I've eaten dog before. It's not bad at all. Like post 15 points out, it's a food source. People will get their protein where ever they can.
Yer right Bob...I've eaten dog many times in Korea, and a few times in the Philippines...like you say, one man's friend is another man's feast...Men have been eating dogs since there've been men and dogs...some of my best friends have been dogs...some people say my only friends are dogs...
The authors point about about moral relativism is right on the money...many Americans own horses and consider them friends or companions...why aren't they attempting to stop the European practice of eating horse-flesh? Maybe they are, but you ain't hearing about it.
