Dog meat off Chinese menus during upcoming Beijing Olympics

[Pawsitive Thinking]

I wouldn't eat dog anymore than the rest of you but would just like to point out that when we were in Beijing last year every menu we saw was very clear so it was a personal choice whether or not to eat dog. Surely the more people stop ordering it the less it will appear

Why is one animal's meat any more 'wrong' than another?

I'd quote Dennis Leary here, Cathy, but somehow I don't think some would find the humor in it.

I love Dennis Leary but I am not sure what you're referring to...PM it to me?

If they have to, humane killing is the way to do it..and they certainly don't. Some places have the equivalent of picking a live lobster from a tank...if you follow me.

Yes, it bothers me that it's done - but more, it's HOW it is done. I think our commercial cattle are better kept and slaughtered than the dogs and cats in Asian restaurants.

However, China and other countries have great numbers of pet lovers as well...so this may change from within.

I wouldn't count on this have you looked in to the cattle industry at all? Its actually very disturbing, we have no right to be judgemental.

My thoughts exactly. Pretty presumptious.
