Here's What Cooked Dog Looks Like
— Ace

Content Warning. It's pretty ugly.

So, here's where the laughs stop, and the ick factor begins.

Morgen sent this over. Google identifies the language as Indonesian, so maybe Breitbart's source was just acting defensively to the question and not being straight.

It's nasty. Not only are dogs kept, of course, in slaughterhouse conditions, but then are, yes, butchered and all. The heads, for reasons I can't fathom, are kept intact and served cooked.

Anyway, content warning.

54 We have a friend who is a total vegetarian.

He was working in Saudi Arabia and was invited for a Bedouin "experience."  He ended up in the desert, watching a little lamb slaughtered, and roasted over a spit.

The "highlight" of his "experience" was being offered the lamb's eyeball to eat.  He knew that to refuse would be an insult.

Told us the hardest thing he ever did in his life, was close his eyes and swallow the eyeball....without throwing up.

Said it was like swallowing a hard boiled egg....whole.

It's  funny  that the Dems want to portray Mitt as "The Other" when it's OBAMA who not only is "The Other" but  he   actually CAMPAIGNED on that and bragged about how he was a "global citizen" (remember his speech in Berlin). He's the one who brags about being so multi-culti  and  exotic -- which leads to eating dog --  and thus making him quite foreign to 99% of Americans.

Well the level of intelligence is a big difference.  Except for pigs... but pigs taste sooooo delicious.  And also the "loyalty" thing is absent in all of those other animals.

The dog was domesticated first, or almost first and was certainly the first to be trained, and also the first to knowingly protect a man's family.

Also, if the moral criterion is about which of these animals is the closest to man in intelligence, that's the dog and the pig.

I am an NRA 2nd Amendment supporter to the hilt. However, aside from that, I do not eat animals. Yes, you hears that right: I have been a vegetarian this June for 25 years. So when I see people get sickened by seeing dogs being eaten, I ask, "What's the difference between dogs and cats and horses and cows?" After all, if you went inside a slaughterhouse to see where your dinner came from, you wouldn't eat meat again, either. That's what did it for me, in 1987. So now you can all call me every name in the book. But I don't care.

Obama's own self-loving words are a great way to attack him. So many of his fans who are friends of mine haven't bothered to read his books, where he brags of socialism, drug use, vandalism, racism, and this sort of weird behavior.

I know that my dogs would defend me with their lives. And I would do the same for them.

91 The video doesn't load for me, but I wonder if this is the same one? This video, from a few years ago, is a street scene of dogs being skinned alive. They are clubbed, but no too hard so as not to hurt the fur, and then skinned and loaded onto a truck. Very very disturbing. It says more, i think, about china than the practice of eating dogs (i am sure they treat cows no better) but here it is.

At dinner at an Iranian house, I was once confronted with a round, fuzzy, golf ball sized object on a serving spoon.  Covered in some sort of red stew.  All the Persians were saying "give it to the American" and grinning.  I assumed this was testicle, and refused to eat it - insults be damned.

Turned out later it was just a cooked lime.  They all laughed and laughed.  Good times.

97 Anson,  darling.  Try killing something in the field and eating it.  You'll appreciate it more.  It's a little further up the scale than being a spectator in a slaughter house.  Get in there,  sport.  Get your hands dirty.  And if you don't see the difference between a dog and a cow,  that is just pathetic.

Posted by: Anson Mitchell at April 19, 2012 08:24 PM (IhUxK)


not gonna call you a name just show a couple points you are missing.  this has to do with the topic of dog treatment in general - not just dog eating - which the Obama campaign decided to make an issue with the Romney vacation story.


a second, but somewhat unrelated point - dogs have been shown to read human faces and emotions.  Since becoming domesticated dogs have evolved, trying to understand human communication.  now, to me, viewing an animal like that as a meal in a situation that is not desperate, shows a special kind of depravity that is probably reflected elsewhere int he culture.

I'm pretty interested in how long, and with how much enthusiasm Obama noshed on dogs at this point.

Posted by: Underground Vulgarian at April 19, 2012 04:29 PM (Aaxiu)

100 29 Is someone going to make the argument that there is a moral difference between eating all of those and eating dog? If you need the argument to be made, you're such a different human being than me that there's no point in making it. A frog is the equivalent of a dog? A deer is the equivalent? Good God, man, have you never interacted with a dog in your life? Heck, I don't even like dogs (as pets) all that much (I'm too lazy for them), but it would never occur to me to consider them as a reasonably optional food group. Sick, sick, sick.

102 91 The video doesn't load for me, but I wonder if this is the same one? This video, from a few years ago, is a street scene of dogs being skinned alive. They are clubbed, but no too hard so as not to hurt the fur, and then skinned and loaded onto a truck. Very very disturbing. It says more, i think, about china than the practice of eating dogs (i am sure they treat cows no better) but here it is.

They had a cow that they named "Hamburger" and a pig called "Bacon." She said that they had no trouble slaughtering them for food. Not sure how that plays into your original statements. Maybe the names kept the animal's fate in front of the kids, so they didn't get weird expectations. I am not sure.

I can't look at that link.  I adore my dogs.  Their loyalty and desire to protect set them apart.  My old male dog would sleep at the top of the stairs whenever I went away.  He literally put himself between the entry to the house and my wife and kids when I (the alpha male in his eyes) was gone. 

 

When I came home he put his big ass right between me and the Missus and snored like an old man but I dealt with it since he pulled guard duty the nights before.

168 But the question remains: having confessed eating dog, grasshopper, and snake, which oneÂ’s powers did Obama pick up?"

What I find interesting is that upon eating dog, Obama was not disgusted.  He didn't say he was in his book, in fact the fact that he told the world about it shows he had no remorse, and then he went on to eat a reptile and and insect.

When I was about 10, after eating a bite of a sandwich at lunch my mother told me it was cow tongue.  I was grossed out, not another bite, lost my appetite.  To this day, decades later, I won't eat anything unless I know what it is first (and then, only maybe).  So I have a hard time seeing how Bammie didn't react the same way I did. 

To me, what is most insightful about his character is that he seems to have had no sense of disgust as a child, or embarrassment about it as an adult.  And of course no recognition at all that Americans would be revolted by it.

The guy is not culturally American.

170 75-my dad was a horrible rancher, because he delivered every calf, named them, and babied them. We ate meat from Safeway. And every one of those cows and steers, and our big (baby) bull would run up to him to have their heads scratched. The bull would follow him around the pastures, and steal tools, run off with them, and then bring them back. That said, I love a well grilled tenderloin, or a juicy burger. I did research in Guangzhou, and at an official dinner, was served dog. And that wasn't even the most 'exotic" thing we were offered-there was pig womb, anteater, bear paw, cobra. And I promptly threw all of it up, in the middle of the dinner. I am fairly certain the Chinese officials were laughing their asses off at the blond gwailo.

172 149 Anson, I don't think I agree with your premise: Whether you're a carnivore, omnivore or herbivore isn't "in" or "out" of step with conservatism.

173 "I'm not sure what the problem is, you can eat what you want. But when it sounds like it's more than a diet, we tend to get annoyed." For me its more than a "diet" - it is a way of thinking. If you believe that that cow, or chicken, or fish, can be eaten, then this is not for you. But I saw a slaughterhouse up close, and what I saw changed me in such a way that I could never again look at an animal as a meal, but rather as a living being. My cat is not a pet - she is an equal to me. I would throw myself in front of a train to save her life.

180 my dad was a horrible rancher, because he delivered every calf, named them, and babied them. We ate meat from Safeway. And every one of those cows and steers, and our big (baby) bull would run up to him to have their heads scratched. The bull would follow him around the pastures, and steal tools, run off with them, and then bring them back.

That's not a ranch.  It's a petting zoo.

And there are some fakirs who "claim" to be vegetarians who eat chicken or fish. They are what I like to call "bullshit artists," only because they are fooling themselves and no one else.

215 Dog traffickers regularly cruise the poor villages of rural northeast Thailand in trucks and offer villagers plastic buckets in trade for dogs, which the traffickers usually take to Vietnam to be eaten (but I understand some of them are slaughtered in parts of Thailand too).  Here's an article with photos of the trucks and the dog cages on the back.

The practice is illegal in Thailand, but the cops look the other way, likely because they can be paid off cheaply.  My girlfriend, who was born in one of those villages, lost a childhood pet when a relative of hers traded her dog for a bucket.  I thought she was kidding when she told me this, but she was serious.

So I have not heard a coherent reason why eating dog would be immoral.  And I am talking IMMORAL, not "mean" or some abstract concept like that. 

The only things people have said is that they can be domesticated (as can many animals), or that they are smarter than all other animals (which isn't really true, there are many animals as smart).

All I am really pointing out here is that as much as we might make fun of vegetarians for not eating cuddly animals because they are cuddly (and therefore it is immoral), the same argument is typically made for dogs.

Have you ever skinned a deer?  Pretty damn gruesome.  Lots of people can't do it.  But when it is already packaged into steaks, sure is easy to eat and not think twice!

And by the way, yes, I have a dog, and she loves me like crazy and I would never hurt her.

I was a vegetarian of Anson's type for 2 years. In high school advanced biology I had a wonderful teacher who I was very judgmental of because he hunted. How could he kill Bambi? How could he eat the majestic wild turkey?

 

He told me that I was a hypocrite if I judged him and yet ate meat from the grocery store. He was right, and I didn't eat meat for two years. Then I decided my outrage could be spent elsewhere and went out for ribs.

 

I wrote that teacher a few years back and apologized for my behavior, and told him how proud I was of the way he provided healthy meat for his family. He was very gracious. I'm now trying to become a good enough shot so that I can hunt. I love squirrel.

 

I don't judge vegetarians, but I think their lifestyle is untenable anywhere except a prosperous country that can provide them a varied diet from a variety of sources. They could not live within the natural environment.

260 @175 "But I saw a slaughterhouse up close, and what I saw changed me in such a way that I could never again look at an animal as a meal, but rather as a living being. " And that's you're right. But I've BEEN the slaughterhouse, back in the days when I hunted, shot, dressed, and butchered my own deer. And it tasted just fine, thank you very much. Better than if I'd bought it's equivalent in beef (or arugula) at the supermarket wrapped in styrofoam and cellophane.

When he had a massive heart attack, trying to save the ranch from a wild fire, we had to sell all his cattle. That probably hurt him as much as the heart attack, because he knew they were going to the slaughterhouse (purebred Angus). Those cows were his pets. Big, expensive, but very loving pets. I agree that we need to keep hammering this issue, because the PReznit was so blase about eating dog. That is not something to be blase about, especially in AMERICAN culture. And since he is supposed to be the president of America, it stands to reason that he should embrace and exhibit American attributes. Or am I just way off base here?

I agree that Anson isn't a troll.  He's just got a thing about vegetarianism which would certainly put him outside of normal conservative practices, but I've never met a conservative who cared if someone else ate meat or not.  I'm Jewish, so I'm used to lots of food rules.  But meat is what lifted Man in evolution, for the scientifically oriented.  And, while I have nothing against vegetarians, any debate about healthy/preferred eating would always come down to that, for me. 

Veggies are fine with me so long as I don't start missing out on meat because of them.  Now, that hasn't happened, yet, but I'm a smoker and I know how these things go.

289 261 The problem I have with a lot of vegetarians - not ALL, just many - and this goes too for many atheists, many Christians, many environmentalists, many Prius drivers, many pickup drivers, etc. - is their need to stand up and declare to the world that they are a proud vegetarian/atheist/environmentalist/whatever. At times and places when nobody really cares. Bully for you and for your beliefs. But why are you sharing? I can't help but get the feeling that it is due to a sense of moral superiority and general smugness. And that is what pisses me off. I really don't care if you eat only free-range tree bark from Zimbabwe. Just don't try to rub the smugness in my face.

293 Food animals Service animals Companion animals *You* may have failed to pick up on that distinction, but our Western culture makes it. We treat these animals differently, with greater or lesser degrees of respect depending on the person. It's not about the animal, it's about me and my values and what I'm willing or not willing to do, what bargains I'm willing to make or break. I get that some people disagree or think maybe there should be a change, but if you're saying "there's no reason" then you're simply not paying attention. And Anson, people don't call you a troll because you're a vegetarian. They even explained this to you upthread. They call you that because you're preachy and looking for a fight. Read your own posts. If you just want to *be* a vegetarian conservative, so one would even care. But "I'm morally superior and you will hate me for it" is a spectacularly craptastic way to open a conversation. How could I *ever* take you seriously after that?

Posted by: buzzion at April 19, 2012 09:08 PM (GULKT) MENTION MY NAME AND I SHALL APPEAR! The real problems right now being GF are things like the fact that rice and corn go from $0.50/lb to $4.00/lb when you stick a "gluten free" label on it, and that a lot of stores don't get the distinction or split everything up all over the store so every shopping trip is like an Easter-Egg hunt. And why do all flavored potato mixes have wheat in them, that sort of thing. But what you said affects restaurants more, because people who go GF because it's "trendy" don't bleed internally if the cook screws up. Some cooks don't get that, even if they *say* they get it, so I've written off restaurants, even the ones that say they're friendly. So in a sense, you could say they've "diluted" the concern for adequate safety measures, which has affected me in that I can no longer trust those few restaurants I used to go to. The hardest part is dealing with people I go out with, who have panic attacks if they're eating and you're not.

I also ate dog (stew) when I was 4 years old at a Pow-Wow.
Didn't know what it was, but I remember I thought it was good, and then decided it tasted really bad after they told me what it was.

Which, as far as I'm concerned, negates the "but Baraka was only six" BS argument.

I don't see anything at the link. Just as well. I don't see anything morally wrong with eating dogs or cats but I'd never eat a dog; and I've got cultural qualms about eating a cat. One friend is vegetarian; but eats fish because they do not feel pain (or so he says. ) 

I spent summers growing up on my uncle's farm, fed and cleaned up after pigs and cows and chickens. Most domesticated farm animals in the world today would not be alive if they were not being used for food.

Most folks don't want to think where their food comes from. Maddest I ever made my wife was when I said we were having "cow" for dinner. Good thing we weren't eating veal.

337 Greater demand leads to wider distribution and lower prices. Posted by: fluffy knows gluten free at April 19, 2012 09:17 PM (z9HTb) So far, the former has happened, the latter has not. Still $5 or 6 for a half-load of small bread, or $4/lb for "specialty" noodles. Oddly enough, the Chinese haven't figured out rice is expensive yet. You'd have to do your research but the Three Ladies brand tells me their rice noodles are made in a plant that only processes rice (everything's a risk with actual Chinese Chinese food, though, it could have melamine in it or something). 336 Merovign, you have celiac? Posted by: fluffy knows gluten free at April 19, 2012 09:20 PM (z9HTb) Or one of it's dozen or so genetic cousins.

I have heard people say that a few times and I just broke out laughing.  I still can't figure out what they think they're saying.  Squid and cuttlefish are actually more intelligent than most liberals, as I think was just in a post or something.

Nothing feels nearly as much pain when Man is dealing with it as it does in the wild, though.  That's for sure.  The libs cry over men clubbing baby seals.  Instead, the poor cubs deserve to be eaten alive by sharks, as would likely happen to them if not clubbed to death quickly.

Now that you mention it, getting eaten alive by the shark might still be quicker and less painful than being thrown around and gnawed on by a polar bear.  Bears like to play with their food.

I guess I'm slightly amused by this, "dog eating is UNAMERICAN" argument.   Doesn't bother me at all that someone out there (including BO**) is eating a dog, though I was born in the US and am a rabid conservative in many an area. 

I guess it doesn't help that I've never owned a dog, and I spent my elementery school years overseas.  (My parents are from a dog eating culture, though we've never had it in family meals). 

All that said, I'd probably decline dogmeat if offered.  I'm more of a burger or pork person.

401 #29 I will make the moral diffrence.  Dogs are companion animals who guard our homes, protect our children, search for bombs, herd our livestock, look for missing persons, and love us unconditionally.

You cannot eat an animal that is a friend and a co-worker.

It's also why Americans are repulsed by eating horsemeat.  Horses are companion animals and co-workers,  having helped us tame the wilderness.

Cats fall in the same category.  They live with us and hunt mice and other varmints. 

You cannot eat an animal who is genetically disposed to be a friend.

407 somebody has some 'Splaining" to do. read this; Here is the information I got from Steve Wertz: There is no federal law against eating/­serving dog meat.­ In Hawaii, for example, it's perfectly legal as long as the dog is not a stray or has been killed inhumanely.­ Other states laws vary.­ The majority of states have laws against commercial uses of dog meat, but not necessarily personal consumption in the home.­

I guess I'm slightly amused by this, "dog eating is UNAMERICAN" argument. Doesn't bother me at all that someone out there (including BO**) is eating a dog, though I was born in the US and am a rabid conservative in many an area.
-------------------------------------------------------------

It's unAmerican because, at least in America, we understand the taboo that eating dog is a massive, massive breach of trust.

Dogs have been bred for many years to be our companions.  And that breeding has been incredibly successful.  There's a unique partnership between man and dog that doesn't exist between man and any other animal.  People like to project all kinds of feelings and emotions on to their dogs that aren't there. 

But the fact is that dogs trust and love people in a way that no other animal does.  You may have seen the quote--a dog is the only thing that will love you more than it loves itself.  It's true.

You know what the greatest moment in your dog's life is?  That moment you get home from work, all your dog's name, and he/she can greet you excitedly at the door.  There's a concept called "unconditional love." In people it's dumb.  But in dogs, it's a truly beautiful concept.  Your dog will not hold a grudge.  Your dog will give you another chance.  And another and another and another.  Because your dog trusts you.

Americans know this.  And, as a poster above said, for Obama to be so blase about this breach of trust is really odd.

411 51 We eat cow, pig, chicken, deer, rabbit, lamb, goat, frog, snake... what am I missing? I put a hot dog bun on an Obama yard sign last night. that's what you're missing. When it slips out that Barky is golfing again, I will lean a toy golf club on the Obama sign.

412 This dog eating thing brings a whole new meaning to the Obama quote ...

"And over the past two years, that’s meant taking on some powerful interests. Some powerful interests that have been setting the agenda in Washington for a long time, and they’re not always happy with me. They talk about me like a dog. That’s not in my prepared remarks, but it’s true.”
