BTW, most "food" dogs suffer far more than that one did.... and that's before they thankfully die. People eat animals, period. Nearly every creature on this planet has been eaten by somebody at some point. Dogs, horses, guinea pigs, and other "pets" are commonly on the menu somewhere in the world... and they think we're crazy for eating cows and pigs.

Maybe I'm just jaded bacuse I don't come from the Planet Sunshine which is completely covered in rainbows and puppies?
I don't watch the news on television very often so I don't know if it was on tv or just on the internet.

You're entitled to your opinion and perception of a story and so is everyone else. Where you might see this as a common practice, I don't necessarily see it like that. I see this story as horrific and presented badly on my local news station web site. This is the point I'm trying to make here.

I am certainly aware of animals being eaten of all types. I'm old enough and educated enough to be fully aware of all this information.

When I started this thread, I wasn't looking for an argument or a lesson in culture/practices of other societies. Just trying to inform my fellow board members of this disturbing story. If you don't see the point of my posting this, that's fine. You are entitled to your opinion as I stated earlier.

This is a board composed of thousands of animal lovers. This story struck me as something that was graphic but possibly worthy of highlighting.

I don't live on Planet Sunshine either. As a matter of fact, not even close.
