interesting article there.. Just a little warning if anyone is very squeamish (or a big dog lover) there is a small picture of some dogs that have been skinned ready for eating... (one of the points is about dogs being eaten in korea & elsewhere) I don't have a problem with it, but perhaps someone might.

That was actually really interesting. And well written. thank you m'dear.

Also, the dog pics are rather scary. as they have this scary perpetual grin/grimace.

yeek! Forgot to warn people about that.

As a shamanist, I can say our tribe members feel VERY strongly about dogs, and that one was rough for me, too.

Sorry for not giving a 'heads up!' Embarassed

Regards & regrets,

Send this home to my friends so some misconceptions can be cleared up. Smile

"Western society has a similar fetish with the whole 'Catholic schoolgirl' thing, so from that standpoint it doesn't seem quite so odd."

Actually, the blurb on cat-eating is somewhat incorrect. The Vietnamese are extremely fond of eating 'little tigers' as they are called and there are 'little tiger' restaurants all over Vietnam - especially in Ho Chin Min city.

Also, the Chinese were caught in Vancouver, some years ago now, paying little boys 25 cents each for housecats/alleycats that they brought to the restaurants. The Vancouver Health Department had a fieldday.

In addition, the outbreak of SARS is attributed to the eating of civet cat.

I adore cats, look at my honey - and I positively hate the idea of anybody even thinking about eating one. However, to each his own, I guess, and if the Chinese or Vietnamese want to get SARS, well ...
