"Let Them Eat Dog"

Post #316,683 by Andrew Grygus 11/3/09 6:38:47 PM Reply	"Let Them Eat Dog" Saturday Wall Street Journal (10-31-09), in the "Culture" section (W10), had a big article on the wisdom of adding dog to the menu. It's an extract from Jonathan Safran Foer's new book "Eating Animals". While much longer, and considerably more harsh (for pet lovers), it is in general agreement with my http://www.clovegard...ed/ao_dogcat.html Dog & Cat page.

I've heard rumours of Thais and Vietnamese eating dogs. Wade. Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers? A:No, the fingers should be eaten separately.

Where I live, the Armos have been largely displaced by Koreans, the world's principal dog eaters, and I'm sure I could rouse up some dog if I really wanted to fish around. The principal problem with Korean dog eating (in Korea) is the inhumane methods of killing the dogs. In southern China the main problem is extreme violation oaf all principles of sanitation, as well as severe mistreatment of the dogs. In my opinion both these issues need to be addressed in a very severe way before dog can be considered a respectable menu item.
