Fact, The Lewis and Clark expedition preferred dog over fresh salmon when trading for food with the Colombia River tribes.

LOL!
Just had a “triple post for no reason” myself.

Funny how the stomach doesn’t care who is a friend, and who isn’t

I posted this response once. Once only. But, after posting it took forever and then I got an error message from NJINX.

I reloaded the FR website and discovered it had posted 3 times.

In fact I have gotten 3 NJINX error messages on FreeRepublic this evening. Something is wrong with an argument.

Mrs. Smith, I’m afraid I don’t understand your last sentence at all.

I have never heard that phrase. What does it mean?

PS, if this posts 3 times it’s not my fault!

You don’t like Muslims telling you how to behave but you want to tell the Chinese what to eat. I think it is a sort of diversity I can live with as long as they practice it in their country.

Must be a regional saying that people from your region inherently understand.

I don’t understand your original comment and I certainly don’t understand your response to my request for explanation.

“Mankind and it’s stomach” is a meaningless phrase to me.

My stomach is a part of my anatomy which serves to digest and absorb essential nutrients for the benefit of my body. What it has to do in relation to your comment I just don’t get.

No disrespect intended. Honestly.

Moving past the part where we’re speaking in terms of what most Americans view as their pets....

Most dogs are beaten or tortured immediately prior to being killed because those who eat dog believe the dogs flesh/meat is tender due to the stress of the beating.

Now, if you can get past that and are okay with animals being beaten.....

Then there is the way the dogs are being cared for as they are raised; stuffed in cages where they cannot even begin to move, not feed or cared for in any healthy way.

It’s interesting in that those same countries are often the countries that are so cavalier about abandoning female enfants and disabled enfants (of both sexes).

Rabbits? Don’t know if they are cared for any better than the dogs.

No, nothing regional.
My own statement.

Imagine you’ve been on a lifeboat with someone for days, and days...
What will your stomach think of them?

If you can’t, I’ll tell you. Your stomach will think they’re a meal.

I'd like the same thing to happen to the Chinese who do that. I would not care if they starved, they are so cruel to animals all over the world. They commit savage inhuman acts on dogs, cats, equines---anything that they can stuff in their mouths or use to "increase their virility". There are heartbreaking pictures on the internet of them removing live dogs from their cruelly tiny cages with long handled pincers, around the dog's neck or any part they can get the pincers on, with the dog screaming in pain. They tie up dogs and cats with their legs behind them and leave them in that horribly painful position until they hack them to death alive or throw them alive into vats of boiling water.

They are responsible for many species becoming endangered and regularly pay poachers to kill animals such as elephants, tigers, etc. to make their tribal version of Viagra--as if there aren't enough of them in the world already. From what I see here, they breed like roaches already. Frankly, when my neighbor spotted a cat in the window of the Chinese next door and then didn't see it thereafter, she and I were very worried about its health, or even if it was still alive.

You probably don’t know how pigs are treated at most farms and at slaughter house too.
For them dog is a farm animal. Some people has pigs for pets too. Does it mean we shouldn’t eat pig too?

Ahh, OK, now I get it. Yes,you are correct. Humans are of high intelligence. Far superior to any other on this earth.

But, we still need sustenance. And, if push comes to shove we will eat what we must to survive.

People who have needed food have eaten far worse than dog to survive. Prisoners in solitary on highly restricted diets have eaten cockroaches, rats, whatever they could get their hands on.

Thank you for the descriptive explanation. I was totally baffled by your response before you took the time to explain.

Concur. this is why i’m not worried about the chicoms taking over the world. Anybody who eats dogs has shit for brains. Just saw a story where the dog woke up an entire household that was burning down. All would have died were it not for the dog. Many stories like that.

Yes, mass produced cows, chickens, pigs etc are not treated well during their short lives before they are slaughtered. But none are man’s best friend.

I would never eat a dog. Or monkey brains for that matter.

This could solve Missouri’s feral hog / wild boar problem...

Just cook it well-done...
