Friends going to eat a dog!

i didn't read the whole thread so i dont know if this has already been said, but:

IMO, it's not the type of animal that matters, but the way it was treated. there's nothing wrong with keeping some cows in a field, letting them live their lives, eating grass and pooping, then killing them for food. it's called "the food chain". but if you're going to stuff them into a tiny cubicle, where they cant turn around, and they're pissing on themselves and eachother, you're going to breed disease and bad karma.

 

been to SK. here is what they do.

according to the asians the best tasting dog is one that suffers the most pain. So what they do is usually beat the dog over a long period of time until it dies. different with cats. you will see them get a live cat the beat it and then throw it in a hot pot. the cat will suffer and scream then the pull the semidead cat out and pull the fur right off like a piece of tape. then you see them get the furless skin colored cat and they drop him in a i different pot, you will see him (I am not sure if its reflexes or what) but it will open and close its mouth and move its paws like it was trying to swim and breath.

they have some places where they keep all the cats in small cages and the customer chooses the feline they want for dinner. the sounds of the cats and dogs undergoing these procedures are horrific and sickening.

 

Meat is meat. You eat cow, fish, deer, chicken....what's wrong with some dog now and then? Why is it taboo? Because you keep dogs as pets? Some people keep chickens as pets....stop eating that. My aunt has a pet cow....stop eating beef. I have some fish as pets....stop the eating of the fish. Everyone has their own belief and taste....if your friends want to chomp on some dog, let them do it....they aren't forcing you to eat it.

 

OK, that was pleasant, unfortunately you are mistaken. Or full of shit. either way, I don't care, you're posting lies.

Dogs are prepared so that the most amount of adrenaline is released into the tissues at the point of death. So yeah, they hang them up by piano wire and burn the hair off them using a blowtorch. While they are still alive. So yeah, it tends to be a tad traumatic during the last few moments of their little doggie lives.

Cats are not eaten. They are humanely dispatched and certain anatomical parts are used in the preparation of medicines.

A few points... I'm a pet owner. I spent several years volunteering full-time in animal rescue. I eat very little animal protein and prefer game to farmed meats. I was married to a Korean woman for several years and I checked before I posted this. I have travelled extensively and I am tolerant of other cultures because what they do and have been doing for time immemorial is not my business to judge.

Why don't you people put some of this anger and energy into feeding the homeless or something you can do something about instead of tearing down something you obviously don't understand and can do nothing about. This thread is like protesting the treatment of political prisoners in Cuba. Castro can't hear you and wouldn't care if he could.

 

I dont care what you think. but you are right about the blowtorch thing also, but the dogs are also beaten and cats dropped in boiling water. I am not protesting anything just describing something. So if your asian wife and yourself eat dog I could care less. About the homeless people, I could care less also.

 

Yeah, they eat dog in the Philippines too. Hell, the poor people eat anything they can catch... either that or starve. I accidentily ate all sorts of "non-food" animals (ie, non cows, non pigs) while over there. After eatting dog I quit eating meat.

It was prepared much the way Zoomie described. Blowtorched the hair off, and then it was roasted over a spit. The richer people didn't usually eat dog, as they can afford to be North American in their meat ideals. It was while hanging out with my less fortunate friends that dog was served.

Oh.. and the dogs that the poorer people ate weren't grown in cages or bought, or raised eatting. They were strays taken off the street... thousands and thousands to stray mangey dogs running around. I asked my friend why they weren't taken to a shelter or fixed or something... and he said "what would the people eat?". Very eye opening to a young Canadian fresh off the farm.

 

icedteapriestess,
in a nation as poor as the Philippines, exactly where will they find the money for animal shelter or fixing, take it from the education fund. Eating strays takes care of 2 problems the way I see it it's biological control.

 

There's a song that's a spoof on Cats In the Cradle, it goes like this:

Did you ever think when you eat Chinese
It ain’t pork or chicken but a fat Siamese
yet the food tastes great so you don’t complain
but that’s not chicken in your chicken Chow Mein
seems to me I ordered sweet and sour pork
but Garfield’s on my fork
he’s purring here on my fork

there’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Room
the place that I eat everyday at noon
they can feed you cat and you’ll never know
once they wrap it up in dough boys
they fry real crisp in dough

chow lien that’s stiff I wanted more
as he was dialing up his buddy at the old pet store
I said not today I lost my appetite
there’s two cats in my belly and they want to fight
I was sucking on a Rolaid and a Tums or two
When I swear I heard it mew boys
And that is when I knew

there’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Room
I think I got to stop eating there at noon
they say that’s it’s beef or fish or pork
but it’s purring there on my fork
there’s a hairball on my fork

 

As long as it doesn't harm anyone, a commendable thing. However if animals (or other humans, but that's off-topic in this thread) are treated really badly it's different. Most farm/domestic animals can't protect themselves.

 

Your complete apathy must make your parents very proud. I'm no longer married to an asian woman and I've never eaten dog. To reiterate, Koreans do not eat cats. Perhaps you were mistaken and you were in China that day. Or perhaps you're just making this up.

 

exactly. I was 16 when I asked my friend the question. But thank you for crystalizing the point I was making.

 

Ever heard of "goyangi tang" in Korea? It sure has Cat as the main ingredient. I was stationed in SK for 2 years and I have seen plenty of interesting and odd foodstuff in SK. Dont try and tell me otherwise, why are you trying to mislead people into thinking otherwise?

 

I know what Goyang-i tang is, I was a linguist. Unfortunately, cat soup (if there were such a thing) would be pronounced Kkoyang-i tang. I'm sorry your poor Army linguistic training prevents you from distinguishing between a hard G and a hard K, but I forgive your mistake. Just not your embellishment of the facts.

Perhaps next tour you should spend less time swilling with the bar hostesses of Tong Du Chon. Or Pyongtaek. Or Taegu. Or Itaewon. Or wherever.

 

Go-Gi means meat. From that you can conjugate the kind of meat:

Bul-Go-Gi generally means beef, but is pork if it is Dwae-Jee Bul-Go-Gi or chicken if it is Dak-Go-Gi. Bul-Go-Gi literally means "Fire Meat".

Kay-Go-Gi means dog meat.

Ko-Go-Gi means "nose meat" which, yeah, makes no sense unless Hannibal Lecter is visiting Seoul.

 

Dont forget to try Cat Stew if you ever visit Korea

 

I thought it was cat soup...
