alanrchase Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 16 hours ago, TroubleandGrumpy said: The 'farming' of cows, pigs, goats, checkens, etc over a very long period of time has resulted in the breeding of animals that are in a far safer condition to humans, and that are healtheir to consume. Dogs Cats Moinkeys etc have not been bred to be consumed and they have inherent risks in consumption by humans (rabies, parasites, etc etc). Additionally, in most cultures Dogs and Cats have been kept as companions and therefore are not viewed as an animal to be eaten. Likewise, monekys etc are seen as 'too close' to humans to be eaten. The only 'wild' animals that humans have consumed over long periods of time are fish. But if I am starving to death and all there is to eat is a cat/dog - then sorry, but well burnt dog/cat it is. Humans have been hunting wild animals for food for hundreds of years and still do. Wild boar, deer, rabbit, pheasant, partridge etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put in a food themat humans don't find easy to eat and produce protein for humans .... you also get other products...it the case of rabbits we get fur as well as meat.. Dogs in most cultures were not bred for meat and do not fall into the usual protein cycle either...dogs have many uses but not producing protein efficiently. There is in most society a culture of eating "exotic" animals. These are not eaten as an essential source of protein but are consumed out of a misguided belief in some archaic cultural benefit e g. medical health animism or virility etc... most of these practices are based on nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Bull Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Just came back to Udon Thani after a trip to Sakon Nakhon and Nakon Phanom. There are definitely very few stray dogs to be seen there compared to Udon Thani. Maybe they were all sleeping in the shade or maybe that plastic bucket guy came out of retirement or never retired.

Skeptic7 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Been illegal for a decade here in Thailand. For once, Thailand way ahead of South Korea in making it law. Of course, doesn't mean it doesn't still happen. Those without money or food don't have many options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elkski Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I read the journals of Lewis and Clark. Dog was a favorite with the group . I recall a passage where the indians thought it odd how often they requested and ate dogs. http://www.theoldfoodie.com/2006/04/dog-for-dinner.html?m=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have yo seen how they are prepared for transport? THeir legs are broken behind their backs - this means thy can't run off. Another problem with dogs is that unlike herd/flock animals they aren't easy to manage or a productive source of protein. THe reasons for eating them are usually the same mumbo-jumbo that Chinese medicine is composed of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep Right Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 If they offered dog on a menu, I would try it. I ate dog in Vietnam and it was quite good, very tasty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterboy Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Thais eat rats. They are field rats and are sold on the side of the road in Issan. They are fillet and cured in the sun and fried up. Rats are also available at certain markets, on the outskirts of BKK, where country people live. I was told street and sewer rats were off the menu. I’ve seen shaved and dressed dog carcasses delivered to restaurants in Kunming. I made a note to not in too much there. But Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild boar, deer, rabbit, pheasant, partridge etc. True - and much of that is not for food nowadays. But as long as the animal is checked, prepared and cooked properly, they are usualy OK - although sometimes they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
