There has been so much controversy over the too sick practice of eating dogs. Talk about some sick food.

Some countries like the Philippines have outlawed the practice and made dog meat illegal (too bad no one enforces it)

This is just wrong, the sick video below shows the treatment of the dogs before being slaughtered. Sick Shit for sure. Many of them are totally abused and beaten before being sliced and diced into soup. In one of these videos, the fool hangs the poor tortured dog. WTF?

I guess I have been on a sick food trip lately… so here is some more sick ass food - barbecued dog, YUMMY! ahhh… NOT! These fools are a bit twisted.

I Understand the argument that people eat animals and that dogs are just another animal, however I do not sleep with a cow in my bed nor would I trust a chicken to safe guard my home. My child does not play fetch with a fish nor would that same fish attack anyone that threatened him like my dog would.

The dog is my kids best friend and when he was a toddler, the dog never let him out of his sight. The dog is part of the family and hurting such a loyal and trusting animal willfully is beyond our comprehension. Killing the dog and eating him is unthinkable and far too grotesque for even the worst of nightmares. Sick food for sure

This is a pic from a Korean protest against the dog meat market

Some years back, a neighborhood Korean restaurant got busted. They were kidnapping dogs from yards and serving them up as chicken. The dozens of missing pets and the matching heads in the dumpster behind the “eatery” did them in. They got busted for animal cruelty, the doggy eatery got closed down and the pet executioners got fined.

The newspapers wrote that due to cultural differences, they believed dogs were fair game and did nothing wrong. It seems chicken got to expensive and dog was free (stolen). Needless to say, they got closed down and each person who ever ate there probably puked and now stays far away from Korean cuisine.

Korea, Vietnam, China and other Asian country’s do have doggies on the menu and I gotta say, it doesn’t look very appetizing, actually, its some sick shit!

There is something very sick with eating “man’s best friend” and sadly, the dogs are not killed in any way that would be considered humane. Many are beaten to death, bludgeoned or stabbed. If they are used as sick food, there should be a better way to raise and slaughter the animals. PETA would have a field day out there, but I doubt PETA has an Asian Chapter.

This image is from a site called artfreaks and the description really pulls at my heart strings. Talk about some sick and twisted shit.

Outrageous. Shocking. And very sad indeed… This poor dog met a very unhappy end to its no doubt miserable life. The eyes are stricken with terror and pain - the mouth still snarling viciously, even after the poor creature has been roasted to a cinder.
Until I saw this, I could somehow never really believe that people actually eat dogs in the Philippines. And, to be fair, even now, I am sure that the percentage of the population that do so is pretty small.
I stumbled across this dog’s head on a barbecue when I was taking my neighbor’s dog for a walk around the back of a newly constructed house on the estate where I live. On enquiry, I found out from one of the construction workers that they had bought the dog when it was still alive, for 200 pesos - (about US$ $4.00 - slightly less than a day’s wages for a building laborer here.) The dog was, apparently, killed by being beaten to death and then knifed, in order to let the blood out.
Now, I have to admit, I do enjoy eating “balut” (duck embryos - they are very tasty and do wonders for the libido!)
But this is one item on the menu here in the Philippines that I would dearly love to see removed forever…

I have never been to the Philippines, but the local cuisine makes me ill. This picture of the “home made muzzle” is horribly rotten. WTF?

I found this story about an asian dog meat market from a site called… Chinasucks.com, go figure

Xichang, known as China’s “space city” and capital city of the Liangshan Yi Nationality Autonomous Prefecture in southwestern Sichuan Province, People’s Republic of China.

These are pictures of a market area on an embankment above the river in the old part of town. At the front there are puppies and kittens for sale as pets and further back are about 100 dogs waiting to be selected by customers. When selected the vendor puts the dog in a sack and weighs it. After a price is agreed the purchaser kills his dog and butchers it (sometimes in that order, more often in the reverse order). Business was brisk with a dog being killed about ever 5 minutes. There seemed to be two techniques. The one man technique was to hit the dog twice on the head with a wooden plank which dazed it sufficiently to make it safe for him to plunge his knife into its jugular without getting bitten. He then held the dog up by the tail until it bled into unconsciousness - he would then proceed to butcher it with the dog coming in and out of consciousness. With the two man technique, one man held the dog up by her tail while the other pulled the neck back with a wire round the dog’s neck. The first man was then able to reach down, again without fear of being bitten, to sever the jugular vein. Since the dog was in no way stunned, she struggled and howled and urinated until passing out. The watching dogs were also shaking and howling. The dog was flung onto her back and the butchering began - consciousness returned on lying flat but she was too weak then to struggle much. One of the men laid down his knife and put his mouth to the inside of the dog’s hind leg.

article I found about the growth of the Chinese dog meat market

Growth of the Chinese Dog-Meat Market

The Chinese market has emerged with the appearance of Saint Bernard breeders on the scene, and has proliferated, partly due to Government funding. Dog farms are currently springing up all over China, with industry ads boasting high rates of return, three times as profitable as poultry, and four times as profitable as raising pigs. Chinese dog farmers believe that in a few short years, dog farms will become as prolific as those raising sheep and cattle. In Peixian for example, 300,000 dogs are slaughtered annually. Some farms raise as many as 100,000 dogs a year, most for slaughter but some also for their fur. The animals are killed at about 6 months of age.

Dog vs. rice? I would so pick the rice.
