It looks like people have had enough.

Good to see this. Stealing anothers pet for consumption is barbaric. This is a disgusting practice-what next-Babies?

It's good to see that a majority here agree with you.

I've read this article and was very happy to see that people are fed up with this. There are increasing cases of people nabbing the dog thieves and just beating them to a pulp or killing them altogether. This article is especially interesting because it so happened in the north where eating dogs is much more prevalent. I believe historically, it started with the famine and gv't policy that affected the north and has carried over from there. The majority of the southerners don't eat dogs and this I do know.

There is a little dog meat place on the main strip of Mui Ne and it really bothers me. My hope is that someone someday will just burn it down. It's called, "Thit Cay". "Cay" is another name for dog meat, like beef is to cow.

I'm also curious as Koreans are big dog eaters, do they have this problem with dogknapping?

As far as adoption is concern, it is true that they don't or discourage the practice to their own people unless the person can provide proof of income and profession. It is believe that the children will be used as pan handlers or to sell lottery tickets. Contrary to reports of expensive adoptions, most of those for profit scams are shut down. Russia has a big problem with this. Adoption from a pagoda is nothing more than the usual expense.

((((Last Saturday a group of private citizens began chasing Binh and
Dang The Hung, 27, after they saw them attempting to steal a dog. ))))))

Am I the only one that caught this guy�s unfortunate name? Or fortunate, depending on if he lives up to it or not........Or am I just twisted?

Agree- Stealing a pet is wrong, then eating it is even more wrong.

Agree- Eating endangered species is wrong.

Agree- Inhumane farming and slaughtering methods are wrong.

Agree- There are some sound ethical and dietary arguments for avoiding all kinds of meat.

Disagree- Dogs are not for eating, a la the sacred cows of India.

They're meat. They are farmed. There are plenty of them. They serve, to at least a small portion of Asians, a very real purpose in the whole "ying and yang, hot and cold" balance of health, medicine, and diet. For others, it's a good night out with the mates, getting "man power," and for others, it's a fun way to check and see if their English teacher can back up his or her claims of being adventurous and culturally accepting. For far more, the majority, it's a meal that tastes good.

They're meat. So are babies-lets eat them too.

Dogs, being carniverous are at the apex of the food chain, therefore all the bacteria and germs they ingest is devoured by the people who eat them.

Medical evidence indicates that eating the flesh of a dog presents a considerably higher health risk than eating the flesh of a herbivore.

Eating dogs gives us "man power"? I am happy to pass on that if thats how I can get "man power", just as I pass on eating the fresh and beating hearts of the cobra to get "man power". There is NO evidence to suggest there is a connection-its all in the mind of the half drunken heroes who slurp beer and ingest the flesh of dogs- It must give them a real rush to gobble up a much smaller realtively defenceless animal.

Cultural norm or not- eating dog flesh is both unnecessary and dangerous.
As to being "culturally accepting", I guess it goes with the lying, cheating and general mistreatment of the "tay". Personally, there are some things that are just not culturally acceptable.
