It's all about cultures, so I couldn't say I'm not for eating one or the other culture-wise, but as for taste I couldn't imagine dog tasting very good. Then again pigs are thought to be disgusting creatures and bacon = amazing<br /><br />http://splendids.com/vitrified-dinnerware-c-168Lindsay H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12353886905436116854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405633513402883204.post-43057927131318381352010-07-22T03:23:40.286-04:002010-07-22T03:23:40.286-04:00I am not against the eating of cats and dogs a suc...I am not against the eating of cats and dogs a such it is the way they are treated before they are killed or while they are being killed.As part of some research for a report a friend and i have to do for school we watched a clip on you tube were there were many cats crammed into small cages they were kicked around dropped an a cage full of them (the cats were alive)were thrown off the top of a bus!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405633513402883204.post-83745280329780087522010-03-04T18:09:32.567-05:002010-03-04T18:09:32.567-05:00Thanks all for the input.

And who will decide what is and isn't legal? (or what businesses are permitted) The goverment, the very same people who are responsible for coming up and passing laws.<br /><br />Of course goverment owned (or owned by high ranked officials) businesses would be allowed to legaly sell them, as would be any other business that bribes enough people. Ah, it's all so transparent.<br /><br />Anyway, I agree with you that there is no difference between eating a dog or a cow or a pig, except that most people think of dogs as pets.Mikehttp://losebellyfat2.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405633513402883204.post-9963649398342439712010-03-02T03:47:12.075-05:002010-03-02T03:47:12.075-05:00Like the others who have commented here and you, I...Like the others who have commented here and you, I too agree that a law such as this is superfluous. As pointed out, what people find appealing is largely cultural. I may not choose to eat cat or dog, but I don't find it inherently wrong and generally speaking, I don't believe in imposing my belief systems on others in that way. <br /><br />However, in the case of endangered species (whale meat) and/or total slaughter of an entire animal for the sake of a single part (shark fin), I find both of those actions wasteful and disrespectful. Whatever meat we choose to eat, we should honor the animal. <br /><br />Laws don't seem to prevent those hunting or dining choices though, proving that laws aren't successful in preventing people from eating what they see as an important component of their culture.Tara D.

But on the question of whether there's a difference between eating pork or eating dog, I think you can make a case that there is. I have a dog, and although I was not a dog person until we got her (for my daughter), I can tell you that she's better company than many people I know. She understands many, many words and has incredible ways of making herself understood. I imagine some farmers grow fond of their pigs, but I'd put dogs in another category altogether in terms of intelligence and personality.Jill from North Shore Dishhttp://www.northshoredish.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405633513402883204.post-16029133400881455822010-03-01T13:22:26.534-05:002010-03-01T13:22:26.534-05:00This is similar to the French tradition of eating ...This is similar to the French tradition of eating horse meat. That tradition was recently (within the last 5 years or so?) banned if I remember correctly. <br /><br />Of course, there is the Chicago ban of foie gras (considered torture for the geese), many of the Jewish food laws were health based, and the tradition of fish on Fridays in the Catholic lenten tradition (anyone know why this is?). There are many such examples of food restricting laws out there.<br /><br />That said, I don't think it should be passed either. My thought is, if it doesn't kill you, why not?Doniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371004058496325658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405633513402883204.post-13877431671856063362010-03-01T06:43:29.169-05:002010-03-01T06:43:29.169-05:00A few years ago on the website StileProject (VERY ...A few years ago on the website StileProject (VERY NSFW) the site owner posted a video of a man killing, skinning, cooking & eating a cat (or a dog, I don't recall).
