I think HNC wants to tear off your jib and hang you with it, but that’s just me.
In any case, no love for cats ivan?
You mean ‘roof rabbits’? Actually, I like cats too…but I couldn’t eat a full one!
fucking hell, I can’t believe this thread is still going strong. Anyway, Ivan, let me join the choir by stating what I should have told you yesterday, which is that you’re a crazy fool. I too will torture and kill a puppy so I can eat it. Fuck you, and fuck your dog.
There’s a difference between trying to convert someone, and getting them to see your POV. One is impossible, for starters…no need to guess which one! As for the other, most replies seem to suggest I haven’t got one worth airing, which has been a salutary lesson.
Can I hope you choke on it’s little puppy paws in The Pit, or does that transcribe as a wish to cause harm?
Oh, I was talking about human-flavored meals. should be vegan-flavored meals, since we do not eat carnivores.
Nope. In the vast majority of place, it’s treated acceptably, without respect and kindness, and only as long as it is useful (for hunt, shepherding, watch, pulling things).
Harrumph. I for one, am most decidedly NOT. The problem with foie gras is it’s expense and it’s meat-butter goodness, which means I don’t get to eat it much.
It’s really fucking bullshit.
If someone can teach me how to turn my two dogs into foie gras, let me know, so I can eat them, too.
I can’t believe everyone missed the sarcasm in this thread.
Think about it. ivan makes a point of arguing that dogs are no more intelligent than some other animals we eat, and that therefore opposition to eating dogs is just an irrational feeling based on the culture one grew up in.
And yet he concludes that eating dogs is wrong? When he just argued that it wasn’t?
It seems clear that ivan is mocking the usual irrational and racist arguments against eating dogs.
Well done, ivan. Even I, who grew up in America thinking of dogs as pets, have to accept your argument. As long as I eat other “smart” animals such as pigs, there is no real reason not to eat dogs. Based on your argument, I would now be willing to try it.
See, it took a guest to perceive the blatantly obvious. Some of you Doper’s have been here too long.
So, do you fancy a choice St Bernard steak, or just a gnarly little mongrel to nibble on?
When I lived in Seoul, one of my Korean colleagues thought it was absolutely revolting when I told him I had eaten squirrel. I looked at him and said “woof.” That was the end of that discussion.
The Koreans eat it in a kind of stew – boshintang, or, somewhat comedically, mongmong-tang (mongmong being the Korean equivalent of woof woof). It smells bad and doesn’t taste much better. It is eaten by men to increase their “energy.” Oriental medicine has a very complicated system of foods for diffferent physiological types and different ailments. Eating dog is part of that complex system.
Bullshit.
Dogshit.
Bulldog shit.
Yes it was. It was me being sarcastic. But, back to the thread. Back in post #31, you stated that the questions in my OP had already been answered, and that the thread had turned into a ‘train-wreck’. Yet, at that point, I’d been given nothing but opinions in response to my query about it’s prevalence, and it wasn’t until 5 posts later that HNC chimed in with a Wikipedia link, which I had already seen, and which was full of [citation needed] remarks.
Meanwhile, 100+ posts later, that is still the only link I have been given, and this train is still trundling along. So, has anyone got something other than opinion to add? Or are you going to continue to compound my ignorance, by talking bull-dog shit?
I’m sick of these motherfuckin’ dogs on these motherfuckin’ menus!
But seriously, I don’t know why dogs being viewed as pets in one culture and food in another culture would be a big deal to someone unless they were writing an attention-seeking thread.
Ahem! Aren’t all OP’s attention seeking threads? Otherwise, what exactly is the point of them? Your implication that I somehow need, yours, or anyone else’s attention, is a little pathetic, and for some strange reason I’d have expected better from you.
Feel free to upgrade that to “statement”.
You know nothing about me as a person, so I’ll amend it to WAG!
If we can hit this bullseye, all the dominos will fall like a house of cards…checkmate!
… don’t mind me…
You’re right, I can only form an opinion based on my observations of your posting habits.
I stand by my “attention-seeking” assertion.
