It may be the Dog House but as Karen stated in another thread once, we can still try to be sensitive to the people here. I'm also well aware some countries eat dogs and cats, but I would find it upsetting to have someone walk up and chat to me about eating dogs, showing me pictures of it. I don't condemn them for having a different culture, but I would hope my friends and acquaintences wouldn't find it an amusing topic to bring up and discuss/look at with me.
I think of Pet Talk as a pet message board first and foremost, and the Dog House is still part of Pet Talk, and filled with pet lovers. I think we should be especially sensitive about people and their pets here. Even if the topic doesn't offend you, I think it should be taken into consideration that for some it might be really upsetting and disturbing. As Sandra noted, it doesn't seem to be an outcry or a post sharing something upsetting, it seems like a discussion on the food aspect of it (for lack of better words). For many here, their pets are their kids. If it's something you find interesting and want to talk about more, maybe it'd be more appropriate for an exotic cuisine board, rather than a pet board.
