Poor pooches. Man's best friend in the frying pan! I've told my dogs that I won't eat them if they promise not to eat me.

I love kimchee, but with DOG EXTRACT? Gimme a break.

>>Man's best friend in the frying pan!

As far as I know, those are food dogs, not pet dogs.

>>In China, dog breeders are saying that in a few years, there will be as many Saint Bernard dogs on the mainland as cows and sheep.(?)

I don't believe it. Dogs consume much higher grade of food than cows do.

We spent a couple months in China and the markets were sad places. Cats and dogs, even kittens and puppies in cages waiting for someone to decide they were dinner.

Plus the carcasses of dead dogs and cats that had been skinned were hanging by meathooks. It was amazing.

We went to the zoo in Guanghzou and in a cage, on display, right across from the panda display, was a German Shepherd. We decided they must have caged him to keep him from getting eaten, LOL.

Here's how it plays.

Red China, seizing upon the power of P.E.T.A., decides to stop dog eating on the mainland but encourages it in Taiwan.

P.E.T.A. hounds the Bush [still running 75% of the Clinton-and-Red-China-funded] Administration ... to the point where Red China is asked by the White House to intervene in Taiwan.

Case closed; next!

How come all their food and health products seem revolve around male sexual potence?

[DainBramage]

Ruffage?

[Libertarian_4_eva]

Good for them. I could careless if they decide to eat dogs or not.

[glockmeister40]

I'm not surprised by this. China has about 1.3 billion people. Their people will eat anything that moves, including insects. Too many people on too little land.

When they become a world class military power they will be expanding into their neighbors. Look for them to invade siberia and the middle east.

Nobody would ever accuse the Sunday morning crowd on FreeRepublic of being tender-hearted. I guess the good folks go to church at this time. Speaking of which, I am late for mass myself.

If she offered to share a plate of kegoki with me, I'm afraid I'd have to say yes.

Someone needs to write a bestseller

101 ways to wok your dog.

First of all, this is not a food "fad", they have been eating dog for a very very long time. Secondly, the thought only detests you because you've been raised in a culture where we don't eat dogs. If you are hungry enough, any animal is fair game, unless, one is a vegetarian. Then one would probably choose to starve.

[self_evident]

Said Mr Ng of Acres, an Asia Link member: 'The Koreans say eating dog meat is part of their culture, but one cannot use culture to justify violence.'

Clearly, he has never been to the Middle East.

I see in my crystal ball that there may be a shortage of family pets in those countries.

[cgbg]

My chow chow is sure glad his ancestors escaped from China!

[Don Myers]

Say, where did we get our "hotdog?"

[NC_Libertarian]

Dogs are usually strung up by their necks and beaten repeatedly to increase the flow of adrenaline in their flesh. Consumers believe the more pain the animals suffer, the more tender the meat becomes.

The dogs would struggle, howl, urinate and bleed till they become unconscious. Finally, they are chopped into pieces. All these are done in front of other dogs awaiting the same fate.

I can't stand the thought.

I don't think we have the right to tell them they can't eat dog, however, because I don't want someone telling me I can't eat cow.

But man, there is a big difference. And we don't torture our animals before slaughter. At any rate I hope something is done about the torture, at the least.

[Robert Lomax]

I see the Dog Rights people are already out protesting how bad this is. I personally like my dog cooked up with garlic, onions, soy sauce, little bit of sugar, and with alot of red pepper to spice it up.

All the local governments in this country that run animal killing mills {usually called 'humane societies'} should be able to turn some bucks over this and lower our tax burden or increase their spending.
