All bark, no bite.
I expect to see a new entry on Healthing It soon:
The menu was predictably dog-dominated: dog paws, dog tail, dog brain, dog intestine, even dog penis. We went for a dog broth, simmered for four hours, with Sichuan pepper and ginger. It was warming, with a pepper-tingle. The meat was tender, unctuous, blander than pork, but stronger than chicken. Later, the owner, Chen Zemin, explained how the best dogs for eating had yellow coats, weighed 30 pounds, and did miracles for arthritis.
Okay. Will you try anything once?

Alright, I see his point. Dogs have meat, like pigs have meat, so why can we eat one and not the other.
But from my personally embedded experience, I also think it’s fucking atrocious to eat dogs. In Ukraine, I remember pigs rolling in dirt and just being gross in general (they did have the most horrific squeal when we slaughtered them, poor stupid things). But my two German shepherds were smart as hell and protected us from all the drunken imbeciles who hung around the village at night.
I consider dogs to be more intelligent than pigs. They’re our friends! I could never eat one…even though I like to say that I’ll try everything once, this is where I’d draw the line.
On the other hand, if I lived in the middle of nowhere and had nothing to eat, I’m sure my dog would look pretty tasty. But I’m thankful to be in a place where I can abstain from meat all together. Organic or not, I’m staying the fuck away from eating dogs. That’s fucking with God’s plan.
I just hope that this shit isn’t going to become some new health food craze…coming to a Whole Food near you…Then, I’m moving back to Ukraine for sure.
