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!

Looks more like, "Breakfast in Bread".

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

[DainBramage]

Ruffage?

[Fresh Wind]

Maybe that explains why they have such a population problem.

[Libertarian_4_eva]

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

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.

They're Grrrreat!

Not really. There are lots of dishes for females. Stewed deer skin is good for those who have menstruation disorder. Pig feet soup is great for producing milk.

Insects are rich in protein, especially worms, big worms.

In Thailand, honeybees are served with eggs.

We took a drive through American and saw a cow farm where the cows were side by side in a fenced area, no grass, no way to roam...we saw a chicken farm. The chickens were in cages, stacked one on top of the other. The chickens never set foot outside the cage...We saw a mink farm where thousands of minks were to be killed, not food but to wear.

What is your point?

[Lake]

Hindus worship cows and they treat cows like God, but Americans eat cows.

[thepitts]

All true, And I have no idea why some people think they have the right to impose their beliefs on other people.
