Although I don't eat dogs, I like very much this Englishman's comment about dog-eating.

"I hate to ruin the party here, but a dog is an edible animal just like a chicken, fish or cow. I have a dog and so would never eat one. In India though the cow is sacred and people have been beaten to death by mobs there for accidentally running them over. What would you say if indian media started coming over here and lecturing us on our love of hamburgers? Or what would we say to jews or muslims trying to ban pork in the UK? This is the east, they dont love dogs and cats the same way we do, they eat them, and as far as i’m concerned unless we want to ban pork or beef then we should let them be."

It's not for outsiders to stop China's internal animal cruelty. But we can stop facilitating it.

Farmers in Switzerland routinely EATING cats and dogs with their meals

• Practice still common among farmers in areas of Switzerland
• The most popular type of dog is a breed related to the Rotweiler
• Commercial sale of dog meat is banned in the country, eating is not

It is a practice more usually associated with Far Eastern countries such as China and Vietnam.

But a report by a newspaper in Switzerland has revealed that dog and cat meat is still part of meals in the Alpine nation.

The Tages Anzeiger said farmers in the Appenzell and St. Gallen areas in particular slaughter the creatures to eat themselves or to pass on to friends.

Canine snack: Eating dog meat is still common practice in some areas of Switzerland, a newspaper in the country has found

The favourite type of meat comes from a dog that is related to the beefy Rottweiler.

‘There’s nothing odd about it’, a farmer told the paper. ‘Meat is meat. Construction workers in particular like eating it.’

Another farmer told how he raised animals and then called in a butcher friend to kill them when they were ripe for slaughter. Still one more described how he either shot the creatures, usually adored as pets throughout Europe, or bludgeoned them to death.

According to the report, people ate the meat as ‘mostbröckli’ - usually a form of beef or ham that is marinated, but this one made from dog or cat.

‘No-one knows what it is when you prepare it in this fashion,’ a farmer added.

Dog's dinner: Although human consumption of dog meat is mostly associated with Asian countries such as China, pictured, Swiss farmers confessed to breeding dogs for their meat

While not taking place on a commercial scale, the practice horrifies animal rights activists in Switzerland where the eating of such creatures is not forbidden by law, as it is in nearby Germany.

In Switzerland the person who wants to kill a cat or a dog will only be prosecuted if the killing is itself cruel.

DOGGY DINING
Dog meat is eaten in a number of countries across the globe, but the practice is mostly associated with Asian nations.

It is most common in China, South Korea and Vietnam where earing dog is believed to bring good fortune

Koreans even have a special 'meat dog' breed called Nureongi which is bred for human consumption and very rarely kept as a pets.

And the flesh cannot be sold commercially, even though some communities have pressed in the past for it to be sold on market days alongside the usual fare of beef, pork and lamb.

The newspaper added; ‘The surveyed farmers spoke about their special preference only through the assurance of anonymity. All feared a hostile reaction from animal welfare activists and animal lovers.

‘Animal welfare organisations and farmers assess the consumption differently, but it is particularly popular in the Rhine Valley.

'One farmer said he had stopped eating it purely because it is “frowned upon” by society. He sees this as the hypocrisy of a society “that can get otherwise not enough meat.”’

There are no official figures about how many of these animals end up on the plates of the Swiss.

The country also has a small but thriving trade in cat pelts for coats and bedspreads. The Swiss parliament rejected changing the laws to protect dogs and cats for human consumption back in 1993.

Edith Zellweger of the Salez animal welfare group said; ‘How unscrupulous can a society be that man eats his best friend?’

She was behind the drive 20 years ago to get the law changed and will press for fresh legislation again.

The Federal Veterinary Office said it was a ‘cultural matter’ and pointed out that in some countries dogs are reared specifically to be slaughtered and eaten.

That dog eating festive is in Yulin, very close to Vietnam. Given the proximity both geographically and culturally, are you sure you haven't been there?
Another part of China that people eat dogs is the boarder area near North Korea, as Korean people love eating dogs. To most Chinese, we never eat dogs and hate doing so. Anyone who has visited China will tell you so.

What about this?http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-02-...d-cats-feared-buried-alive-in-vietnam/6070922

Cat meat, known locally as "little tiger", is a delicacy in Vietnam, and although officially banned, it is widely available in specialist restaurants.

Vietnam has long banned its consumption in an effort to encourage cat ownership and keep the country's rat population under control.

But there are still dozens of restaurants serving cat in Hanoi and it is rare to see cats roaming the streets - most pet-owners keep them indoors or tied up fearing they could be stolen.

The demand from restaurants is so high cats are sometimes smuggled across the border from China, Thailand and Laos.

Nope , dog eating came from China then spread to Korea & North Vietnam.

People Are Lining Up To Buy Horse Meat In France

On a frosty morning at Richard Lenoir market near Bastille, Palmira Munio, a retired seamstress and cleaner, was trying to keep warm at the back of a long queue at the horse butcher stand. “A nice horse steak, quickly seared on both sides, and served rare: delicious,” she said.Munio, 76, has bought horsemeat here twice a week for more than 20 years. But suddenly this week the queue seemed inordinately long. The reason? Proving once again the axiom that there is no such thing as bad publicity, the European scandal of rogue horsemeat in frozen lasagne has sparked a boom in sales of the flesh at France’s traditional horse butchers.

The French industry body for horse butchers, Interbev Equins, estimates there has been rise of up to 15% in horsemeat sales since the scandal broke. With French customers now wary of ready-meals – frozen food sales are down 5% in France, and trade at organic stores has risen – shoppers have been flocking to traditional artisan butchers, particularly to get horse.

“No one is more trustworthy than a good horse butcher,” said a retired secretary in her 60s, who had spent less than €5 on her “excellent value” weekly horsemeat purchase.

Behind his display of horse steaks, dried horse sausage, horse pâté, and mincing machine for preparing fresh mince to be eaten raw – as horse tartare – the butcher, Daniel Adam, said he had had a rise in sales since lasagnegate.

“Everyone’s talking about horsemeat,” he said. “People are thinking ‘ah horsemeat, I’d forgotten about that option, I think I’ll come back to it’,” He said the scandal over horsemeat used in “beef” ready-meals had not sparked negativity about the meat. “Instead they are questioning the processed food industry,” he said.

Adam, from Paris, has been a horse butcher for more than 30 years. His meat, he said, came from horses in the Sarthe and Mayenne regions, in north-west France. Even before the lasagne scandal he had noticed a renewed interest in eating horse among a new, younger, clientele.

He described the craft of horse butchery as precise. “We’re described as surgeons of meat,” he claimed. As he worked, younger customers craned over from the neighbouring cheese stall for a look. His clients include English people living in Paris and the personal chefs of stars living in Marais nearby.

In France, horsemeat consumption dates to the 1700s. For centuries it was a cheap, working-class, food. The biggest quantities are still eaten in the old coal-mining areas of the north-east, followed by Paris, then south-east France. But since the 1980s consumption had steadily dropped.

Now, about 16% of French households buy horsemeat. In recent years the industry has ramped up marketing campaigns of the low-fat, low-cholesterol meat, aiming particularly at women, despite Brigitte Bardot campaigning against eating horse.

France consumes about 20,000 tons a year, but in Italy, where horse sausage and cured meat is popular, the population eats about twice as much.

The 700 specialised horse butchers in France represent a sharp drop on the number 10 years ago. The steady closure of horse butcher shops is mainly attributed to butchers retiring and a lack of people training and being ready to take over. Almost three-quarters of French consumers eating horsemeat are more than 50 years old. Under 35s accounted for only 7% of customers in 2011.

“This is the first time I’ve bought horsemeat,” said Magalie Hennequin, 32, an assistant chef, buying steaks. She had been angry about the labelling scandal regarding frozen beef dishes. “People have the right to know what’s in their food. At first I wasn’t sure where to go to buy horse. There was no way I would buy it in a supermarket, I had to find a specialist butcher.”

Francis Philippe, a couturier and fashion stylist, who was buying a large cut of cured horse sausage, said: “The lasagne scandal is ridiculous. It’s consumers’ own fault if they insist on buying prepared meals they know so little about. Going to the market only takes an hour, fresh horsemeat from a specialist costs little, plus you get to chat to the butcher.”

There are still more restaurants in Belgium serving horse than in Paris. At Le Taxi Jaune, a renowned bistro in Paris’s third arrondissement, which has long served dishes such as cured horse sausage and horse brain, the head chef, Otis Lebert, said there was a surge of interest in horse dishes given all the talk on horsemeat. But he questioned whether it would last. “Call me in three months and let’s see if it is still the case.”

And Britain. I'm guessing to horse lovers, this would be considered animal cruelty.

Horse meat sales gallop upwards in Britain because it's leaner and cheaper than beef

• Retailers say they are struggling to cope with demand for mince and steaks
• Sales boom came a year after meals were found to be packed with horse
• 'A fundamental change in way British people view horse meat has started'

The horse meat scandal that shamed Britain's supermarkets has not put people off the product because sales have exploded in the past year, it was revealed today.

Consumers have developed a taste for the rare meat and have been snapping it up because it is leaner and cheaper than beef.

One specialist retailer is selling up to 1,200 packets of horse mince, steaks and meatballs every month and is struggling to cope with the demand.

Back on the menu: A butcher carves a juicy piece of horse meat. British retailers say sales of the controversial flesh have exploded since last year's scandal

Taster: Experts say that consumers have embraced horse because it is often cheaper and leaner than beef

Two horse fillet steaks cost around £4.50 but the same beef product is likely to be twice the price, with experts saying 'a fundamental change in the way British people view horse meat' has begun.

Wow, everyone has a skeleton in their closet.

 

[Jlaw]

Eat dog, cat, cow, pig chicken- its all the same

Just don't eat meat.

It's really just more western assholes who tries to dictate what people should eat or should not eat. These so call superior moral fuckers want to ban GMO foods, etc in other countries because they have never been in hardship. They can buy everything at a local Walmart. They never empathize with others who do not have the privilege or the choice to choose

Wow, everyone has a skeleton in their closet.

yes, these assholes try to hide it. Have you seen how many true blood Native Indians are left in N. America? That's right--very few, they killed almost all of the them. But they say they are morally superior.

@Steve781
And how about this?
I have never seen this sign in China，this photo come from europe.
Who the fucking can tell me what this sign mean?

Wonder what some guys jumped up and down for the ugly thing they heard that happened in their country.
Any barbaric acts happened any where, any time should be criticized.

Yulin festival of torture, alive skinned, alive burning ... is one of place. And this thread point to Yulin.

 

[Kim Philby]

It seems humans are on the top of food chain!!

 

[AViet]

Actually they don't just eat dogs, but torture them, beat them to death, burn them alive, throw them alive in boiling water, etc....it's all part of their Yulin 'festival'. Just google some pictures.

I eat dog meat sometimes, and feel nothing wrong. I do not care about what other people think about us Vietnamese for eating dog. However, burn them alive and throw them alive in boiling water seem to be barbaric acts.

If these are not propaganda by animal activists, which I highly suspect they are, these acts should be stopped.

Dog is a family member in west may be. But food in China and Korea. deal with it.
