damo Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Asian people dont eat cats Dogs need to be rather large and slightly beaten (whilst alive) Rats need to come from rice processing type places and are sold at a premium.

bangkokburning Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Really only the Viets, Chinese and Koreans eat dog. I always laugh when people fear they will be fed dog as it costs more than beef - so why would some dive sub it out for some bits of pork? I've eaten paddy rat a few times. It was OK.

I like doggies too... doggies going to market in rural Vietnam, photo taken from our vehicle as we overtook the truck: to follow up, I spent a lot of time in provincial markets in north VN (either that or eat the horrible 'food' available in the hotels) and I never saw dogs being sold for food...but, there is obviously a 'market' for dog meat but the business must be conducted elsewhere...

Go vego and you'll be safe-ish. Vietnamese are Asian and there is a cat restaurant in Ha Noi. There was a thread on here recently about a farangs Thai neighbours that ate his cat. Thais are Asian. Dogs are not beaten while alive before eating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggest you stay away from Nakhon Sakhon as that's the main dog eating area of Thailand. Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai also. Yes dog meat and rat meat costs more than beef or pork or chicken so is not likely to be used as a substitute in dishes. They're also more deliciouls and with a different texture so you'd notice the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkokburning Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Actually I would not be surprised to find Viets eat cats (and Chinese). In Lao and Cambo you can find all sorts of wild animals for sale in the provs. I remember when there was a critter restauarant right on Minivong in Phnom Penh. I was so sad when I passed by, I wanted to let all the little creatures out of their cages. Asians have no respect for nature, sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JusMe Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Dogs are not beaten while alive before eating them. The traditional method in Korea is beating the dog, presumably to spread extra adrenalin through the meat, making it more tender and tasty. That's the reason I ended up refusing to eat dog when I was living in Korea. Locals often said that the traditional methods were no longer used, but I wasn't assured of that, seeing the breeding and growth kennels out the back of specialized restaurants. It's a business, just like any stockyard preparing pork or beef for the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koknia Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) Here is a shot I took a few years ago of skinned frogs and rats at the wet market in Battambang.

Also the parents of a colleague of mine own a dog restaurant in Seoul and he tells me they do not beat the dogs. If it was anything to do with spreading adrenelin to make the meat more tasty don't you think they'd beat pigs and cows the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will always claim, particularly for foreigners, that beating is no longer done, but I'd rather not spend any time in the kennels out back as they're actually preparing the dogs for slaughter. You think any restauranteur will admit that he beats his meat Of course, none of this would be done in a proper stockyard, and there's never been a claim that the adrenalin would affect pork or beef. There are claims, though, that one can tell the difference between a black or white dog or even chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRealDeal Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I fail to see a problem .... The fish people say not to eat Dolphin because they are mammals ..... they don't seem to care with cows. Cute little bunny rabits are ok but not cats ? Horse has long been considered off limits in the usa because of the relationship they had in the early west , I guess they get a pass and the moose don't because moose aren't as fun to ride ! ...... It's not a problem to eat a wolf which is basicly a dog with a different name , hunting and eating a tiger or lion is just fine but I guess if the cat is to small it's bad ? Why do small cats get a pass but small fish don't ? kittens and baby fish not withstanding ..... I'd eat BBQ dolphin cooked over rainforest wood with a side of shark fin soup and crackers with cat pate and dog ice cream for desert and not miss a bit of sleep over it.
