Lake, go read the info that Former Lurker has posted. Dog meat is alot more expensive than $2.00 a pound anywhere it's sold. If there are people willing to pay $800 a dog, that's what they'll all sell for.
Nobody is eating dog that's boiled alive, because they're poor. They're eating boiled alive dogs, because they think it will work like Viagra.
No members of the communist party are having more than one child? How many children did Mao rape and impregnate? What these creeps are doing in private would make Clinton look like a saint.

Actually I did some research on the dog meat price. Dog meat is NOT expensive in China.
According to Beijing Meat and Food Co, Ltd, stewed dog meat is 11.5 RMB for 250g, which means roughly $3 a pound for cooked, ready-eat dog meat. http://www.zhitongfood.com.cn/jiage.htm
According to a survey by Chines's Northeast Agricultural University, the whole sale price for dog meat balls is 30-35RMB/kg, which means less than $2 a pound. http://www.neau.edu.cn/international/tech_info/shipin.htm
If you buy raw dog meat at a wholesale price, I believe it will be much cheaper.
